Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Ana Zapatero"
- Ana Zapatero's recent research primarily focuses on kidney transplantation, particularly concerning the outcomes and methodologies related to controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) and elderly donors.
- Significant findings indicate that kidney transplantation from elderly cDCD donors can yield outcomes comparable to those from elderly donation after brain death (DBD) donors, along with improved short-term results when normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) techniques are utilized.
- Additional studies by Zapatero emphasize the importance of utilizing objective tools like the Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) to optimize donor selection criteria, aiming to reduce organ discards while ensuring better transplant outcomes.
