The Impact of the Introduction of MELD on the Dynamics of the Liver Transplantation Waiting List in São Paulo, Brazil
Until July 15, 2006, the time on the waiting list was the main criterion for allocating deceased donor livers in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. After this date, MELD has been the basis for the allocation of deceased donor livers for adult transplantation. Our aim was to compare the waitlist dynamics before MELD (1997-2005) and after MELD (2006-2012) in our state. A retrospective study was cond...
متن کاملImpact 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 کاملAddition of serum sodium into the MELD score predicts waiting list mortality better than MELD alone.
In this study, we investigated the prognostic value of serum sodium and hyponatremia (< or =130 mEq/L) in 262 cirrhotic patients consecutively listed, 19 of which died (7%), 175 survived (67%), and 68 underwent liver transplantation (26%) during 3 months of follow-up. Hyponatremia was present in 63% of patients who died, compared to 13% of those who survived (P < .001), whereas the proportion w...
متن کاملSimultaneous Liver-Kidney Transplantation: Impact on Liver Transplant Patients and the Kidney Transplant Waiting List
Purpose The number of simultaneous liver-kidney transplants (SLKT) performed in the USA has been rising. The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network implemented a new policy governing SLKT that specifies eligibility criteria for candidates to receive a kidney with a liver, and creates a kidney waitlist "safety net" for liver recipients with persistent renal failure after transplant. This ...
متن کاملVariation of the MELD score as a predictor of death on the waiting list for liver transplantation.
BACKGROUND Currently, the most recent MELD score available for each waiting list patient is used to prioritize organs. AIM The aim of our study was to identify the predictive value for death on a waiting list (WL) for the variation of MELD scores at specific time intervals. METHODS During 2004-2006, 208 consecutive adult patients were listed for liver transplantation in our Center. To ident...
