Predicting Graft Loss by 1 Year in Pediatric Heart Transplantation Candidates An Analysis of the Pediatric Heart Transplant Study Database

Thus, among patients with previous congenital heart disease or cardiomyopathy, disease-specific risk models for graft loss were developed with the use pre-HTx recipient and donor characteristics.
