Statistics and Outcomes
What Seattle Children’s Measures and Why
At Seattle Children’s Transplant Center, our outcomes are among the best in the nation.
“Outcomes” refer to the results of treatment and evaluate how effective care is. We also provide statistics such as the number of transplants performed and survival rates.
The data below shows the most recent pediatric patient (the recipient) survival rates and graft (the organ) survival rates.
We gather this information to:
- Measure the health of our patients
- Improve the quality of the care we provide
- Help you make informed decisions about your child’s care
