: Survival probabilities, hazard ratios, and confidence intervals were estimated with univariate Cox proportional-hazards models. To account for repeated measures due to shared donors (except for heart recipients), a GEE approach was used in the Cox proportional hazard model. The lung transplantation model was further adjusted for transplantation type (single, double, heart/lung).
