Children receiving a kidney transplant may be followed to identify predictors of mortality. Specifically, is mortality risk lower in recipients of kidneys obtained from a living donor? If so, is this effect explained by the time the transplanted kidney is in transport or how well the donor and recipient match on characteristics that affect immune response? Similarly, HIV-infected subjects may be followed to assess the effects of a new form of therapy on incidence of opportunistic infections. Or patients with liver cirrhosis may be followed to assess whether liver biopsy results predict mortality.
