Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic led to global kidney transplantation (KT) moratoriums, creating uncertainty about their effects on the life expectancy of KT candidates.
- A study simulated various populations of French KT candidates, analyzing potential outcomes based on moratorium lengths of 0 to 24 months, using data from nearly 64,000 patients.
- Findings indicated that even a short 2.5-month moratorium predicted additional waiting list time and deaths, with significant impacts observed for moratoriums longer than 9 months, suggesting that extending the moratorium could have severe consequences for patient outcomes.
