Frequency of whole-organ in lieu of split-liver transplantation over the last decade: Children experienced increased wait time and death.

Organ shortage is a barrier to liver transplantation (LT). Split LT (SLT) increases organ utilization, saving 2 recipients. A simulation of Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network/United Network for Organ Sharing data (2007-2017) was performed to identify whole-organ LT grafts (WLT) that met the criteria for being splittable to 2 recipients.

Association of Racial Disparities With Access to Kidney Transplant After the Implementation of the New Kidney Allocation System.

Importance: Inactive patients on the kidney transplant wait-list have a higher mortality. The implications of this status change on transplant outcomes between racial/ethnic groups are unknown.

Objectives: To determine if activity status changes differ among races/ethnicities and levels of sensitization, and if these differences are associated with transplant probability after implementation of the Kidney Allocation System.
