DOI: 10.1002/hep.32770
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Since implementation of the MELD score to determine waitlist priority in liver transplant (LT) in 2002, the score has been capped at 40. Recently, the MELD 3.0 score was proposed to improve… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lt.26509
Abstract: Since its inception in 2002, Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD)–based allocation has undergone a series of revisions, especially with respect to exception points. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common indication for MELD exceptions,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lt.26529
Abstract: Patients with biliary atresia (BA) below 2 years of age in need of a transplantation largely rely on partial grafts from deceased donors (deceased donor liver transplantation [DDLT]) or living donors (living donor liver transplantation [LDLT]).… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2018.05.045
Abstract: BACKGROUND Heart transplant allocation in the United States is made on the basis of coarse tiers, defined by mechanical circulatory devices and therapy for advanced heart failure, updated infrequently as a patient's condition deteriorates. Thus,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1053/j.semtcvs.2022.11.001
Abstract: The demand for organs for lung transplantation (LTx) continues to outweigh supply. However, nearly 75% of donor lungs are never transplanted. LTx offer acceptance practices and the effects on waitlist/post-transplant outcomes by candidate clinical acuity… read more here.

Abstract: Introduction: Estimates of time to deceased-donor transplantation (DDKT) generally fail to take into account the competing risks of mortality. Understanding the natural history of KT registrants their chance of DDKT/LDKT/death based on individual characteristics can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/lvt.0000000000000010
Abstract: Sarcopenic obesity is associated with higher rates of morbidity and mortality than seen with either sarcopenia or obesity alone. We aimed to define sarcopenic visceral obesity (SVO) using CT-quantified skeletal muscle index and visceral-to-subcutaneous adipose… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/tp.0000000000001724
Abstract: Background The cardiac allocation system in France is currently based on urgency and geography. Medical urgency is defined by therapies without considering objective patient mortality risk factors. This study aimed to develop a waitlist mortality… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ctr.13870
Abstract: Canadian lung transplant centers currently use a subjective and dichotomous “Status” ranking to prioritize waitlisted patients for lung transplantation. The lung allocation score (LAS) is an objective composite score derived from clinical parameters associated with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ctr.14527
Abstract: BACKGROUND Historically, patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) experience waitlist mortality and low rates of liver transplant (LT). Herein, the impact of MELD-Na based allocation on PBC waitlist mortality was examined. METHODS Adult patients with… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ctr.14960
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Waitlist outcomes in liver transplantation (LT) for individual recipients are improved by use of allografts procured through donation after circulatory death (DCD). However, the impact of increased DCD acceptance on overall center outcomes is… read more here.
