Transplant Year 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017
Total Adult LTs Performed in U.S.* 5,414 5,591 5,848 6,236 6,898 7,077
LTs for AH as UNOS Listing Diagnosis 17 8 24 32 38 48
Proportion of LT for AH as UNOS Listing
Diagnosis (%)
0.31 0.14 0.41 0.51 0.55 0.67
Estimate of Actual** Number of LTs for AH 49 23 69 92 110 138
Estimate of Actual** Proportion of LT for AH (%) 0.89 0.40 1.18 1.47 1.59 1.93

Abbreviations: LT, liver transplant; AH, alcoholic hepatitis; UNOS, United Network of Organ Sharing

*

All adult LTs performed in U.S., excluding HIV and re-transplants

**

Numbers calculated from sensitivity analysis assuming the same rate of alternate classification amongst all LT centers as ACCELERATE-AH sites (i.e. assuming only 35% of LT recipients for AH coded in UNOS with listing diagnosis of AH)
