Long‐Term Survival in Children Following Heart Transplantation
Heart transplantation remains an effective therapy in children with a growing number of long-term survivors. Risk factors for mortality in patients ≤ 10 years of age at transplant with conditional survival to 3 years post-transplant include CAV, rejection, malignancy, female sex, and Black race. Further studies are needed to understand the social and biologic causes of racial and sex disparities in pediatric transplant patients.
