Five-Year Endothelial Cell Density (ECD) in Eyes with a Successful Transplant (N = 347)

Donor Age	N	Baseline ECD^* [Median (Interquartile Range)] (cells/mm²)	5-Year ECD [Median (Interquartile Range)] (cells/mm²)	% Change from Baseline to 5 Years^† [Median (Interquartile Range)]
Overall	347	2698 (2481–2895)	778 (574–1267)	−70% (−77% to −55%)
66.0–<76.0	108	2585 (2445–2792)	654 (538–986)	−75% (−79% to −62%)
2.0–<66.0	239	2731 (2503–2924)	824 (613–1342)	−69% (−77% to −51%)
156.0–<66.0	109	2700 (2481–2904)	748 (587–1127)	−70% (−78% to −56%)
41.0–<56.0	82	2674 (2494–2850)	787 (584–1416)	−71% (−77% to −46%)
12.0–<41.0	48	2858 (2715–3090)	1048 (793–1432)	−63% (−72% to −51%)

Includes baseline ECD from eye bank for 118 eyes and from reading center for 229 eyes.

^†

Endothelial cell density at 5 years minus ECD at baseline divided by ECD at baseline and multiplied by 100%. A negative number indicates loss of cells.
