Zusammenfassung:	Abstract Objectives This study aimed to develop a reliable and feasible score to assess the risk of rejection in pediatric heart transplantation recipients during the first post-transplant year. Background The first post-transplant year is the most likely time for rejection to occur in pediatric heart transplantation. Rejection during this period is associated with worse outcomes. Methods The United Network for Organ Sharing database was queried for pediatric patients (age
