The following information was obtained from the scientific registry at www.ustransplant.org.
At ustransplant.org you can find extensive information/data on every transplant center in
the USA, including survival rates.

The table below contains the 2006 Average Liver Transplant Match MELD
Scores for Ages 11 and Older, for every OPO in the USA

(Match MELD means after factoring in if a patient has a condition,
e.g. primary liver cancer, which boosts the score.)

MELD scores can range from 6 to 40, higher = sicker. For example, if you are a 6
you can live for years whereas if 40, you have, on average, 90 days to live.

Overview of MELD from the United Network for Organ Sharing

Calculate your MELD score if age 12 or over. You must have the following results from
your blood tests: total bilirubin, INR and creatinine. If calculating for a patient younger than
 12, click here. For that child's score, you will need bilirubin, INR and albumin values.

As an example of the significance of this table, a person in a state at a facility that is
transplanting at a MELD of 21 will, on average, be transplanted years sooner than the
person at a center transplanting at much higher scores, such as MELD 30. You can co-list
at two different transplant centers if they are in two different organ procurement regions (OPO's).
This difference in time to transplant is not a reflection on any transplant center's capabilities,
it is simply the way the system is presently set up by those who oversee our transplant
system (UNOS).
