Example: At St. George’s Hospital in London, heart transplant records indicated that 361 patients had received heart transplants over a 14 years period. Of those patients, records indicated that 71 of those patients had died within the 30 day transplant window. The fatality rate of heart transplants is usually assumed to be 15%.
