Outcomes in Living Donor Compared With Deceased Donor Primary Liver Transplantation in Lower Acuity Patients With Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease Scores <30

Toshihiro Kitajima, Dilip Moonka, Sirisha Yeddula, Kelly Collins, Michael Rizzari, Atsushi Yoshida, Marwan S. Abouljoud, Shunji Nagai – 24 January 2021 – Although recent studies have reported favorable outcomes in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), it remains unclear which populations benefit most from LDLT.

Racial, Gender, and Socioeconomic Disparities in Liver Transplantation

Lauren D. Nephew, Marina Serper – 24 January 2021 – Liver transplantation (LT) is a life‐saving therapy; therefore, equitable distribution of this scarce resource is of paramount importance. We searched contemporary literature on racial, gender, and socioeconomic disparities across the LT care cascade in referral, waitlist practices, allocation, and post‐LT care. We subsequently identified gaps in the literature and future research priorities.
