Figure 1. (four panels): Among-center differences in organ offer acceptance rates and waitlist mortality and the association between organ acceptance and waitlist mortality.

a. Figure 1a: Per-center adjusted acceptance rates of first-ranked organ offers from 5/1/07-6/17/13

b. Figure 1b: Per-center adjusted percentage of first-ranked patients removed from the waitlist for death or clinical deterioration*

c. Figure 1c: Waitlist outcomes of patients ranked first on at least one match run from 5/1/07–6/17/13, stratified by adjusted first-ranked organ offer acceptance rates of their respective transplant center

d. Figure 1d: Correlation between a center’s adjusted organ offer acceptance rate and waitlist mortality rate of patients ranked first on a match run*

1. *Footnote: * Each dot represents an individual transplant center. The dashed line represents the best-fit quadratic line of waitlist mortality regressed on the acceptance rate due to the non-linear relationship between center acceptance rate and center waitlist mortality rate. The area shaded in gray represents the 95% confidence interval of the standard error of the predicted waitlist mortality regressed on the acceptance rate, rather than the standard error of the mean. Correlation coefficient=−0.7, p<0.001.
