Journal ArticleDOI
Kidney Paired Donation and Optimizing the Use of Live Donor Organs
TL;DR: The combination of a national KPD program and a mathematically optimized matching algorithm yields more matches with lower HLA disparity, and the health care system could save as much as $750 million.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This series of patients who received transplants from a single-center KPD pool provides evidence that recipients with incompatible live donors, even those with rare blood type combinations or high degrees of HLA antigen sensitization, can receive transplants through KPD with graft survival rates that appear to be equivalent to directed, compatible live donor transplants.
Journal ArticleDOI

Jason A. Williams,Eric S. Weiss,Nishant D. Patel,Lois U. Nwakanma,Brigitte Reeb,John V. Conte +5 more
TL;DR: SVR is an excellent surgical option for CHF patients who are not transplant candidates, and should be considered for ischemic cardiomyopathy patients who qualify for transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

David Bishai,Jeanne McCauley,Lara B. Trifiletti,Eileen M. McDonald,Brigitte Reeb,Ruth Ashman,Andrea Carlson Gielen +6 more
TL;DR: The children enrolled in this urban Medicaid population had nearly twice the rate of injury when compared to the national average, and the medical costs of injuries account for about half of the capitated reimbursement for this age group.
