Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of populations served by kidney paired donation and list paired donation.
TL;DR: Considerable overlap was seen between the pairs unmatchable by KPD and those ineligible for LPD, namely less‐demanded donors and hard‐to‐match recipients, suggesting the best option may be desensitization.
Journal ArticleDOI
The interaction among donor characteristics, severity of liver disease, and the cost of liver transplantation

TL;DR: Donor quality, as measured by the Donor Risk Index, is an independent predictor of LT costs in the perioperative and postoperative periods, and Centers in highly competitive regions that perform transplantation on higher MELD patients with high DRI livers may be particularly affected by the synergistic impact of these factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
MELD 3.0: The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease Updated for the Modern Era.

TL;DR: In this paper, a multivariable Cox model was developed to predict survival up to 90 days after liver transplant registration in the US national registry from January 2016 through December 2018, where all candidates registered on the liver transplant wait list were included.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of waiting times in a simulation of kidney paired donation.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors simulated patients and characterized the predicted waiting times for different blood type subgroups, as well as the effects of patient-imposed restrictions on waiting time, and compared waiting times of different racial subgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization and outcomes of kidney paired donation in the United States.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the 209 KPD and 89 list paired donation (LPD) transplants reported to United Network for Organ Sharing to better understand access to these modalities, clinical outcomes, and areas of potential expansion.
