Kaplan-Meier curves for 90-day and 3-year survival, with 95% confidence interval (CI [blue shading indicates age 70+ years; red shading indicates ages 18 to 69, 18 to 59, or 18 to 59 years]). Septuagenarians (blue lines) versus patients aged 18 to 69 years (red line): (A) unadjusted and (D) propensity-matched. Septuagenarians (blue line) versus patients aged 18 to 59 years (red line): (B) unadjusted and (E) propensity-matched. Septuagenarians (blue line) versus patients aged 60 to 69 years (red line): (C) unadjusted and (F) propensity-matched.

Posttransplant outcomes among septuagenarians, with 95% confidence interval (CI [blue shading indicates no assistance; red shading indicates some assistance; green shading indicates total assistance]). (A) Kaplan-Meier curves among septuagenarians stratified by functional status at time of transplant: 1, no assistance (blue line); 2, some assistance (red line); and 3, total assistance (green line). (B) Posttransplant follow-up functional status among 3-year survivors.
