Outcomes of Heart Transplant Using High Donor Sequence Number Offers.

Introduction: Higher donor sequence numbers (DSNs) might spark provider concern about poor donor quality. We evaluated characteristics of high-DSN offers used for transplant and compared outcomes of high- and low-DSN transplants.

Materials And Methods: Adult isolated heart transplants between January 1, 2015, and December 31, 2022, were identified from the organ procurement and transplantation network database and stratified into high (≥42) and low (<42) DSN.
