  1. This center reported survival status data for 200 patients.
  2. The actual one-year survival of these patients is 63%.
  3. Based on a national average for patients like those transplanted at this center, 95% of the time the one-year survival is expected to be between 58% and 71% for patients at this center.
  4. This center's actual results are similar to the expected range for this center.

*Allogeneic means using cells from a person other than the patient.
