Table 1. A comparison of the KOTRY with the representative ISHLT HTPL registry and a Japanese HTPL registry.
| KOTRY (183 patients; Apr. 2014–Dec. 2015) | ISHLT (30,503 patients; Jan. 2009–Jun. 2016) | Japan (284 patients; Feb. 1999–Jun. 2016) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of HTPLs (annually, /year) | 131.5 (2014–2015) | ≒2,500 | 33.3 (2010–2015) |
| Mean donor age (years) | 37.6 | 35.0 | NA |
| Mean recipient age (years) | 50.5 | 55.0 | 38.1 |
| Male | 67.2% | 75.0% | 74.0% |
| Underlying diseases (DCM/ICM) | 69%/14% | 50%/34% | 66%/8% |
| Inotropic support | 93% | 40% | 5% (2010–2015) |
| ECMO | 19% | 1% | 34% (2010–2015) |
| Long-term VAD | 0% | 43% | 61% (2010–2015) |
| One-year survival rate | 91.6% | 85.0% | 98.0% |
Values are presented as number or percentage.
DCM = dilated cardiomyopathy; ECMO = extracorporeal membrane oxygenator; HTPL = heart transplantation; ICM = ischemic cardiomyopathy; ISHLT = International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation; KOTRY = Korean Organ Transplant Registry; NA = not available; VAD = ventricular assist device.
