Table HR 9: Clinical characteristics of adult heart transplant recipients, 2013 and 2023.

Heart transplant recipients, including retransplant recipients. VAD information is from the OPTN Transplant Recipient Registration Form and includes left VAD, right VAD, total artificial heart, and left + right VAD. Collection of cPRA began March 31, 2015. Prior to that, PRA class I and II values were used. Missing/temporarily inactive urgency statuses are regarded as listing errors since they should not have received a transplant. cPRA, calculated panel-reactive antibody; VAD, ventricular assist device.
