Early Liver Transplantation Regardless of Donor Type Increases Long-term Survival
Date:10/27/2008

ng of the conclusions, Dr. Goldstein says, "We are not surprised by the findings. We have assumed this for some time in New York and live by these standards every day."

Dr. Goldstein concludes, "The real benefits to adopting new allocation strategies are to increase regional organ sharing for those areas most disadvantaged by the donor shortage. We can redistribute organs from areas with short waiting times to allow sick patients to be transplanted sooner in regions with little access to organs."
