- Figure 1.
Projected life expectancy after ESRD onset by recipient age and treatment modality. Life expectancies are calculated from time of ESRD onset and incorporate the mortality rates associated with years of dialysis and organ quality. SD, standard deceased donor transplant; ECD, expanded criteria deceased donor transplant.

Projected life expectancy after ESRD onset by recipient age and treatment modality for patients with diabetes as the primary cause of ESRD. Life expectancies are calculated from the time of ESRD onset and incorporate the mortality rates associated with years of dialysis and organ quality.

Relative risk for not receiving a deceased donor kidney transplant once placed on the waiting list by candidate age. Reference group is 18- to 39-yr-olds; model additionally adjusted for candidate primary diagnosis, race, gender, previous transplant, and panel reactive antibody (PRA) level.

Relative risk for not receiving a deceased donor kidney transplant once placed on the waiting list by candidate age (censored for death). Reference group is 18- to 39-yr-olds; model additionally adjusted for candidate primary diagnosis, race, gender, previous transplant, and PRA level. Patients were included only when they were alive for the full applicable wait listing year.
