Statistical Methods
Survival rates were calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and compared with the log-rank test; survival graphs were truncated when the remaining number of recipients was < 10. Multivariable analyses were performed using logistic regression for dichotomous outcomes and Cox proportional hazards models for time-to-event analyses. The results of the multivariable analyses are reported as relative risks (RR) with a corresponding p-value or 95% confidence interval. A RR > 1.0 indicates that the
Centers and Activity
The 2,708 procedures reported to the Registry in 2007 were the highest of any year to date (Figure 1). Although some of this growth may be due to increased participation of specific regions reporting to the Registry, the growth has been steady during this past decade. As shown in Figure 1, the number of single transplants has been relatively stable since the mid-1990s, with consistent growth in the number of bilateral lung transplants during the past 15 years.

Centers and Activity
After decreases in the number of procedures reported to the Registry throughout the 1990s, the number of heart-lung transplant procedures has been similar since 2003, ranging from 75 to 86 transplants during this period (Figure 23). Between January 1998 and June 2008, more than half of heart-lung transplant procedures were performed at centers averaging only 1 heart-lung transplant per year (Figure 24). Only 1 center averaged 10 or more procedures during this period.
