Figure 3 Net revenue was modeled by 2003 Medicare national teaching hospital rates, including adjustments for indirect medical education, regional relative wages, disproportionate share hospital allowance, and capital and operating cost allowances. Direct cost was inflated to 2003 by the medical component of the Consumer Price Index. Mean cumulative accrual rates of revenue and direct cost per patient stratified by transplant status were estimated from right-censored non-parametric reliability models and are conditional on survival.
