Cumulative survival curves for deceased-donor transplant recipients who were older than 70 yr and similarly aged dialysis patients who were on the waiting listed. Adjusted patient survival was 66% at 4 yr for the transplant recipients compared with 51% for the dialysis patients on the waiting list (8).
