Insights
Pediatric heart transplantation survival rates in the Nordic region have improved, even with longer wait times. Outcomes remain comparable to larger international registries despite fewer annual transplants.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Cardiology
- Transplantation Medicine
- Public Health
Abstract:
Survival for children on the waiting list has improved significantly over time in Sweden and the Nordic countries, despite an increase in waiting list duration over time. Approximately 40% of hearts used for pediatric heart transplantation in Sweden come from donors in other Nordic countries. Outcomes following pediatric heart transplantation in Sweden and the Nordic countries are comparable to much larger regions and registries, despite a low number of yearly transplants in the region.
