In France, the need for continuous monitoring of transplant center performance has recently become apparent. Cumulative sum (CUSUM) monitoring of transplantation is already been used to monitor transplant outcomes in the United Kingdom and in the United States. Because CUSUM monitoring can be applied by different methods, the objective was to assess and compare the performance of different CUSUM methods for detecting higher than expected (ie, excessive) graft failure rates.
