Figure 2. Patterns of improvement for patients stratified by baseline functioning after heart, liver, and kidney transplantation. (A) Whether beginning disabled or not (i.e., baseline functioning below or above a score of 40), heart transplant patients functioned similarly by 6 months after transplantation and thereafter. (B) This was also true for liver transplant recipients. (C) By comparison, stratification of kidney transplant recipients in the able versus unable category (above or below a score of 70) shows that these patients remained stratified up to 2 years after transplantation.
