GAINESVILLE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--New data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients once again place UF Health\u2019s abdominal transplant programs among the best in the nation. The adult kidney transplant program has joined the liver transplant program as a leader in Florida and across the United States, achieving the nation\u2019s highest one-year graft survival rate.<\/p>

\nReleased twice annually, SRTR reports provide patients and health care professionals with important information about transplant center performance. Key measures include patient and graft survival after transplantation, mortality while awaiting transplantation and the amount of time patients spend on the waiting list.<\/p>

\nAccording to the latest reports, UF Health\u2019s adult kidney transplant program ranked first among more than 200 programs nationwide for one-year graft survival, one of the most important measures used to evaluate the quality and consistency of transplant care.<\/p>

\nThe program also demonstrated strong performance in other critical areas, including time spent on the transplant waiting list and mortality before transplantation, exceeding both regional and national benchmarks.<\/p>

\nGeorgios Vrakas, M.D., M.Sc., Ph.D., director of UF Health\u2019s adult and pediatric kidney and pancreas transplant programs, said the achievement reflects the vision, dedication and exceptional collaboration of the entire UF Health kidney transplant team.<\/p>

\n\u201cAs leaders in kidney transplantation, we remain committed to advancing the field, expanding access to transplantation without compromising excellence and setting new standards for patient-centered care,\u201d Vrakas said.<\/p>

\nUF Health\u2019s adult liver transplant program also continued its record of exceptional performance, ranking among the nation\u2019s top three programs for one-year graft survival for more than five consecutive years.<\/p>

\n\u201cThese results once again demonstrate that UF Health is a premier destination for patients who need liver transplantation in Florida and throughout the region,\u201d said Thiago Beduschi, M.D., director of the UF Health Abdominal Transplant Center. \u201cEvery day, our team renews its commitment to providing the highest-quality care, improving quality of life and achieving the best possible outcomes for our patients.\u201d<\/p>

\nBeduschi emphasized that every transplant and every successful outcome begins with the generosity of organ donors and their families.<\/p>

\n\u201cWe honor our donors and their families every day,\u201d he said. \u201cTheir generosity and courage make every transplant, every milestone and every second chance possible.\u201d<\/p> Contacts<\/b>
