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
The Interplay of Socioeconomic Status, Distance to Center, and Interdonor Service Area Travel on Kidney Transplant Access and Outcomes
David A. Axelrod,Nino Dzebisashvili,Mark A. Schnitzler,Paolo R. Salvalaggio,Dorry L. Segev,Sommer E. Gentry,Janet E. Tuttle-Newhall,Krista L. Lentine +7 more
TL;DR: Ongoing disparities exist in kidney transplantation access and outcomes on the basis of geography and SES despite near-universal insurance coverage under Medicare.
Journal ArticleDOI
Domino paired kidney donation: a strategy to make best use of live non-directed donation.
Robert A. Montgomery,Sommer E. Gentry,Sommer E. Gentry,William H. Marks,Daniel S. Warren,Janet M. Hiller,Julie A. Houp,Andrea A. Zachary,J. Keith Melancon,Warren R. Maley,Hamid Rabb,Christopher E. Simpkins,Dorry L. Segev +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a novel application of paired donation that has the potential to multiply the number of recipients who can benefit from each living non-directed (LND) donation.
Journal ArticleDOI
MELD Exceptions and Rates of Waiting List Outcomes

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that organ procurement organizations (OPOs) may differ in exception practices, use of exceptions may be increasing over time, and exception patients may be advantaged relative to other patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Expanding kidney paired donation through participation by compatible pairs.
TL;DR: This work investigated the impact of allowing recipients and their compatible donors to participate in KPD and found that the participation of compatible donor/recipient pairs nearly doubled the match rate for incompatible pairs.
