Int, intestine; MultiV, multivisceral.

*Data given for first transplantation only. All other data include a small number of repeat transplantations (heart and lung 2%, intestine 7%) which are associated with a poorer outcome.

**Four year survival values are given.

Data in italics are most appropriate for comparison. Data, including during the early development of intestinal transplantation, are also given.
