LOS ANGELES - About one-fifth of the nation’s organ transplant centers don’t meet federal standards for patient survival or perform the required minimum number of operations annually, according to an analysis by the Los Angeles Times. The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has allowed 48 heart, liver and lung transplant centers to continue operating despite sometimes glaring and repeated lapses, the Times reported Thursday. There are 236 approved centers nationwide. The newspaper found that between 2002 and 2004, these programs had 71 more patients die than expected within a year of a transplant, as determined by federal standards that are adjusted for the condition of the patients and the organs.
