Background: Non-citizens of the United States face complex social and economic issues, which may impact their post-transplant outcomes compared to US citizens. To this end, we utilized the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database to examine post-heart transplant (OHT) outcomes, stratified by citizenship status. Methods: UNOS was queried to identify OHT recipients from 03/01/12 (start of new schema for citizenship categorization) through 10/18/18 (start of new heart allocation algorithm). Groups for analysis, were as follows: US Citizen, Non-US Citizen/Resident (NC-R) and Non-US Citizen/Non-US Resident (NC-NR). Post-transplant survival and rate of post-transplant rejection were assessed via Kaplan-Meier analysis and tests of proportions. Results: Of the 16,211 OHT recipients identified, 15,677 (96.7%) were US citizens and 534 (3.3%) were Non-Citizens. Among Non-Citizens, 430 were NC-R and 104 were NC-NR, representing 2.7% and 0.6% of the total transplants. Notably, NC-NR were younger than either Citizens or NC-R, and had the shortest median time from listing to transplant (NC-R 80 days vs. Citizens 107 days vs. NC-NR 76 days, p=0.001). The proportion of transplants received by non-citizens varied widely by region, ranging from 0.59% in region 8 (6/1018) to 8.31% (84/1011) in region 9. There was no significant difference in post-transplant survival estimates in citizens vs. non-citizens (logrank p = 0.542), nor in the proportion of patients treated for rejection by one year (15.0% vs. 16.1%, p= 0.504) Conclusion: Non-US Citizens receive three percent of heart transplants performed in the US each year. Post-heart transplant survival and rate of rejection are similar in US citizens and non-citizens. These data may be relevant in the context of evolving UNOS policies. Additional studies are needed are to further inform organ allocation policy.
