Article Synopsis
- The study investigates gender disparities in access to liver transplantation in Spain, focusing on the performance of the Gender-Equity Model adjusted by serum sodium (GEMA-Na) compared to the traditional Model for End-stage Liver Disease 3.0 (MELD 3.0).
- It includes a nationwide cohort of 6,071 patients and finds that women have lower access to transplantation and a higher risk of mortality or delisting within the first 90 days.
- GEMA-Na shows better predictive accuracy for waiting list outcomes than MELD 3.0, suggesting it could be the preferred method for prioritizing patients on the liver transplant waiting list.
