Estimates of the incidence of chronic rejection in various solid organ allografts

Allograft Incidence of OA at 5 Years References
Heart 25% – 60% [1], [2], [3]
Heart-Lung 8% – 20% (OA) [1], [4]
50% – 60% (OB) [1], [5], [7], [8]
Lung 28/45% (single/double lung) [7]
Liver 3–17%; 10% and decreasing [9], [10]
Pancreas alone 30–70%*(late graft loss) [11]
Pancreas and kidney 20–40%* [11]

Estimates based on graft survival rates after one year, with the assumption that most late graft failures are due to CR.
