Mortality is expressed as percent of patients who died during the study period, on the waitlist and posttransplant. Mortality rates were computed using least square means, adjusting for clustering by donation service area, and standard errors were transformed using the delta-method. P values were calculated using the generalized score test for generalized estimating equation models.
