III. Percentage transplanted of patient registrations added to the Kidney waiting list between 1995 and 1996 for the entire United States.

		Period After Listing	% Patient registrations transplanted within period [95% Confidence Limits]
Inital Peak PRA at listing (level of sensitization)	0-9% (N=24484)	1 year	30.2% [ 29.7%, 30.8%]
		2 years	43.9% [ 43.3%, 44.5%]
		3 years	52.4% [ 51.8%, 53.0%]
	10-79% (N=4348)	1 year	18.3% [ 17.1%, 19.4%]
		2 years	28.4% [ 27.1%, 29.7%]
		3 years	35.8% [ 34.4%, 37.2%]
	80+% (N=1299)	1 year	14.1% [ 12.2%, 16.0%]
		2 years	22.8% [ 20.5%, 25.0%]
		3 years	28.4% [ 26.0%, 30.9%]
	Unknown (N=2742)	1 year	20.1% [ 18.6%, 21.6%]
		2 years	28.1% [ 26.4%, 29.8%]
		3 years	33.2% [ 31.4%, 35.0%]

This table provides information about the number of patient registrations added to the list between 1995 and 1996 and the percentage who were transplanted by within certain time periods after their listing date. Because waiting time until kidney transplantation is highly influenced by level of sensitization, these percentages are provided for various levels of sensitization.
