Survival following kidney transplant, biopsy complications, and overall infection prevention were among the factors making up 75 percent of the score, based mostly on data from a U.S. News survey of children's hospitals. The other 25 percent reflects how many of 450 pediatric nephrologists surveyed in 2010, 2011, and 2012 recommended the hospital. How We Rank Children's Hospitals
