Impact of MELD Allocation System on Waiting List and Early Post-Liver Transplant Mortality
BACKGROUND AND AIMS MELD allocation system has changed the clinical consequences on waiting list (WL) for LT, but its impact on mortality has been seldom studied. We aimed to assess the ability of MELD and other prognostic scores to predict mortality after LT. METHODS 301 consecutive patients enlisted for LT were included, and prioritized within WL by using the MELD-score according to: hepati...
متن کاملIndividual Post-Retirement Longevity Risk Management Under Systematic Mortality Risk
This paper analyzes an individual’s post retirement longevity risk management strategy allowing for systematic longevity risk, recent product innovations, and product loadings. A complete-markets discrete state model and multi-period simulations of portfolio strategies are used to assess individual longevity insurance product portfolios with differing levels of systematic and idiosyncratic long...
متن کاملIncreased Risk of Post-Transplant Malignancy and Mortality in Transplant Tourists
Information on post-transplant malignancy and mortality risk in kidney transplant tourists remains controversial and is an important concern. The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence of post-transplant malignancy and mortality risk between tourists and domestic transplant recipients using the claims data from Taiwan's universal health insurance. A retrospective study was performed on 2...
متن کاملRevision of MELD to Include Serum Albumin Improves Prediction of Mortality on the Liver Transplant Waiting List
BACKGROUND Allocation of donor livers for transplantation in most regions is based on the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) or MELD-sodium (MELDNa). Our objective was to assess revisions to MELD and MELDNa that include serum albumin for predicting waiting list mortality. METHODS Adults registered for liver transplantation in the United States (2002-2007) were identified from the United...
متن کاملIs Myocarditis an Independent Risk Factor for Post-Transplant Mortality in Pediatric Heart Transplant Recipients?
BACKGROUND Previous studies suggest that children with myocarditis who receive heart transplantation (HT) may be at higher risk of post-transplant mortality compared with children who are transplanted for idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. We hypothesized that these differences are because of more severe heart failure at HT in children with myocarditis. METHODS AND RESULTS We identified 221 c...
