Figure 1 Five-year Kaplan–Meier survival estimates are illustrated as a function of the presence and number of high-risk criteria (HRC) present at the time of transplantation. (P < .0001, Wilcoxon test.)

Figure 2 Observed 30-day (black) and 1-year (slanted brick pattern) mortality for each risk score in patients with at least one HRC (P < 0.0001).

Figure 3 Thirty-day (black) and 1-year (slanted brick pattern) mortality stratified based on risk category (low = score 0-5, moderate = 6–10, high = 11–15). P < .0001.

Figure E1 Receiver operating curves are shown for both 30-day (A) and overall 1-year survival (B) based on the scoring scale. In both cases, as demonstrated by the c score, the scoring scale adequately predicts survival.
