Official title
Worldwide Assessment of Deceased Donor Kidney Utilization: Disparities, Temporal Trends, and Outcomes
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The persistent imbalance between kidney transplant demand and organ availability remains a major global challenge. Optimizing the utilization of kidneys from deceased donors is a critical strategy to expand the donor pool and increase access to transplantation. Previous studies have demonstrated substantial international differences in kidney acceptance and discard practices, with significant potential gains in allograft life-years through optimized utilization. However, major changes in allocation policies, donor characteristics, preservation technologies, and global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic may have altered contemporary utilization patterns. This study aims to characterize international trends in deceased donor kidney utilization, compare allograft survival across countries, and estimate potential transplantable allograft life-years gained through improved utilization practices.
