Racial Equity in Family Approach for Patients Medically Suitable for Deceased Organ Donation.

Objectives: To conduct a contemporary analysis of the association between family approach of medically suitable potential organ donors and race/ethnicity.

Design: Retrospective review of data collected prospectively by Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs).

Setting: Ten OPOs representing eight regions of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network and 26% of all deceased donor organs recovered in the United States.

A Machine Learning-Driven Virtual Biopsy System For Kidney Transplant Patients.

In kidney transplantation, day-zero biopsies are used to assess organ quality and discriminate between donor-inherited lesions and those acquired post-transplantation. However, many centers do not perform such biopsies since they are invasive, costly and may delay the transplant procedure. We aim to generate a non-invasive virtual biopsy system using routinely collected donor parameters.
