Journal ArticleDOI
Model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) and allocation of donor livers
Russell H. Wiesner,Erick B. Edwards,Richard B. Freeman,Ann M. Harper,Ray Kim,Patrick S. Kamath,Walter K. Kremers,John R. Lake,Todd K. Howard,Robert M. Merion,Robert A. Wolfe,Ruud A.F. Krom,Paul M. Colombani,Paige C. Cottingham,Stephen P. Dunn,John J. Fung,Douglas W. Hanto,Sue V. McDiarmid,John M. Rabkin,Lewis W. Teperman,Jeremiah G. Turcotte,Lynn Rothberg Wegman +21 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that the MELD score is able to accurately predict 3-month mortality among patients with chronic liver disease on the liver waiting list and can be applied for allocation of donor livers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic renal failure after transplantation of a nonrenal organ.
Akinlolu O. Ojo,Philip J. Held,Friedrich K. Port,Robert A. Wolfe,Alan B. Leichtman,Eric W. Young,J.A Arndorfer,Laura L. Christensen,Robert M. Merion +8 more
TL;DR: The five-year risk of chronic renal failure after transplantation of a nonrenal organ ranges from 7 to 21 percent, depending on the type of organ transplanted, and is associated with an increase by a factor of more than four in the risk of death.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characteristics associated with liver graft failure: the concept of a donor risk index.
Sandy Feng,Nathan P. Goodrich,Jennifer L. Bragg-Gresham,Dawn M. Dykstra,J. D. Punch,M. A. DebRoy,S. M. Greenstein,Robert M. Merion +7 more
TL;DR: A quantitative donor risk index was developed using national data from 1998 to 2002 to assess the risk of donor liver graft failure using seven donor characteristics that independently predicted significantly increased risk of graft failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comprehensive risk quantification score for deceased donor kidneys: the kidney donor risk index.
Panduranga S. Rao,Douglas E. Schaubel,Mary K. Guidinger,Kenneth A. Andreoni,Robert A. Wolfe,Robert M. Merion,Friedrich K. Port,Randall S. Sung +7 more
TL;DR: The graded impact of KDRI on graft outcome makes it a useful decision-making tool at the time of the deceased donor kidney offer, and it is likely that there is a considerable overlap in the KDRI distribution by expanded and nonexpanded criteria donor classification.
Journal ArticleDOI
The survival benefit of liver transplantation.
Robert M. Merion,Douglas E. Schaubel,Dawn M. Dykstra,Richard B. Freeman,Friedrich K. Port,Robert A. Wolfe +5 more
TL;DR: With 1 year post-transplant follow‐up, patients at lower risk of pre‐transplant death do not have a demonstrable survival benefit from liver transplant, and Liver transplant survival benefit at 1 year is concentrated among patients at higher risk ofPre‐trans transplant death.
