Transplant Quality Measures

The Transplant Center at Cedars-Sinai strives to deliver the highest quality of care to all patients. As part of this commitment, we are dedicated to providing transparency for our patient outcome rates across a number of procedures.

The information below provides an in-depth look at the data for key procedures performed by Cedars-Sinai, as well as their outcome rates, including mortality and length of hospital stay. These reports aim to reduce ambiguity in procedure outcome data, so that patients and their loved ones can make decisions with the utmost confidence regarding their medical care.

Cedars-Sinai Blood and Marrow Transplant program ranks in the Top 10 in the U.S. for patient survival.1

The program’s one-year allogeneic transplant survival results are higher than the expected rate, with superior outcomes.1

The Cedars-Sinai 1-year patient and graft survival data is presented below, compared to the national estimated survival rate, the rate that would be expected given the characteristic mix of the recipient and donor (age, disease, blood type, etc.), and the experience of similar patients in the U.S.

These statistics reflect adults 18 and older who were having their first heart transplant. Patients who were having other organ transplants along with a heart transplant are not included.
