Objective.-To compare mortality risk among cadaveric renal transplant recipients vs transplant candidates on dialysis in the cyclosporine era.Setting.-Patient mortality risk was analyzed by treatment modality for a completed statewide patient population.Patients.-All Michigan residents younger than age 65 years who started end-stage renal disease (ESRD) therapy between January 1, 1984, and December 31, 1989, were included. Patients were followed up from ESRD onset (n=5020), to wait-listing for renal transplant (n=1569), to receiving a cadaveric first transplant (n=799), and to December 31, 1989.Main Outcome Measure.-Mortality rates.Results.-Using a time-dependent variable based on the waiting time from date of wait-listing to transplantation and adjusting for age, sex, race, and primary cause of ESRD, the relative risk (RR) of dying was increased early after transplantation and then decreased to a beneficial long-term effect, given survival to 365 days after transplantation (RR, 0.36; P
