Variation Across Organ Procurement Organizations in Deceased-Donor Kidney Offer Notification Practices
Introduction
How offer notifications are distributed early in the kidney allocation timeline, including how widely they are offered, is unclear. A better understanding of offer notification practices across organ procurement organizations (OPOs) may identify opportunities for more efficient allocation.
Methods
We merged the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients potential transplant recipient file with additional offer notification time stamps to identify 54 631 deceased-donor kidney match runs from 2017 to 2023. Offer notifications for a given match run are sent to candidates/centers in “batches.” We quantified the number of offers in the initial batch—which theoretically reflects the OPO's initial estimate of how widely a kidney should be offered—and compared this metric across OPOs.
Results
Kidneys were offered to a median of 14 candidates (IQR 9–38) in the first batch of notifications, and this varied across OPOs from 3 to 746 candidates per initial batch. Batch size at the OPO-level did not correlate with rank at kidney placement or OPO nonuse rate. OPOs in the highest quartile of batch size sent more offers (median 100) than presumably necessary to place kidneys (median rank at placement 21), and OPOs in the lowest quartile of batch size sent fewer offers (6) than needed to place kidneys (rank at placement 19).
Conclusions
Offer notification practices vary widely across OPOs, and many OPOs offer kidneys far more widely than necessary for placement. Optimization of offer notification practices may reduce unnecessary communications. Further research into allocation processes is needed to identify opportunities to improve efficiency of allocation for OPOs and transplant centers.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
