Figure 6. Early Waitlist mortality, before and after implementation of Share 35.

Figure 6

The survival curves account for the competing risk of transplantation. Removal from waitlist for deteriorating condition is treated as death. Adjusting for MELD at the start of each period, accounting for the competing risk of transplantation, cumulative incidence of mortality decreased by ten percent (SHR = 0.87 0.92 0.97, p=0.03). Overall there were 2804 deaths in the pre-Share35 period and 2700 deaths in the post-Share35 period.
