Variation in adult living donor liver transplantation in the United States: Identifying opportunities for increased utilization

Krista L. Lentine et al.

Summary: Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) in the United States is limited to specific experienced transplant centers. This study analyzed transplant registry data from 2002 to 2019 to assess the impact of recipient and center factors on the likelihood of receiving LDLT. The study found that while the likelihood of receiving LDLT has increased in recent years, there are still disparities in access based on age, gender, race, ethnicity, obesity, and socioeconomic factors.

Living Donor Versus Deceased Donor Pediatric Liver Transplantation: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Arianna Barbetta et al.

Summary: This study compared outcomes of pediatric LDLT and DDLT, finding that LDLT resulted in superior patient and graft survival post-transplantation, with lower rates of rejection. Therefore, LDLT may offer better outcomes for pediatric liver transplant candidates.

Meta-analysis and meta-regression of outcomes for adult living donor liver transplantation versus deceased donor liver transplantation

Arianna Barbetta et al.

Summary: A systematic review comparing adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) and deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) found that LDLT is associated with improved patient survival, reduced waiting time, and lower MELD score, despite an increased risk of biliary complications. Hepatic artery thrombosis rates did not differ between the two types of transplantation.

Why are there so many liver transplants from living donors in Asia and so few in Europe and the US?

Mohamed Rela et al.

Summary: Liver transplantation is widely accepted as a treatment for end-stage liver disease, but the increasing demand for organs has led to a gap between supply and demand. The East tends to focus on living donor liver transplantation, while the West concentrates on optimizing the use of cadaveric livers. The differing approaches have resulted in varying levels of acceptance and utilization in different regions.

Interprofessional teamwork is the foundation of effective psychosocial work in organ transplantation

Gerald Scott Winder et al.

Summary: Interprofessional teamwork (IPT) is a well-established concept with significant impact on patient safety and care delivery. There is a lack of research on team dynamics in organ transplantation and how IPT principles apply to psychosocial work in this field. Enhancing teamwork and identifying areas for future study are important goals in improving transplant care.

Defining Quality Criteria for Success in Organ Donation Programs: A Scoping Review

Vanessa Silva e Silva et al.

Summary: This study synthesized key organizational attributes and successful outcomes of international organ donation programs through a mixed methods approach, categorizing them into context, process, and structure. Analysis of 84 articles identified 16 categories positively influencing the success/effectiveness of organ donation programs. The study also highlighted a gap in the literature regarding the combined study of factors, suggesting the need for primary research to investigate and measure these attributes holistically for the performance of organ donation programs.
