Where you live matters: area deprivation predicts poor survival and liver transplant waitlisting.
This study investigated the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) on outcomes for patients with cirrhosis in metropolitan Chicago. The researchers conducted a retrospective analysis of 15,101 adult cirrhosis patients across multiple institutions. The research utilized the area deprivation index and data from the American Census Survey to assess neighborhood-level SDOH. The findings revealed that for each quintile increase in area deprivation, there was an associated increase in the risk of cirrhosis decompensation and all-cause mortality. Conversely, the likelihood of being waitlisted for liver transplantation decreased with increasing area deprivation. Specific SDOH domains linked to lower chances of waitlisting and reduced survival included low income, low education levels, poor household conditions, and inadequate social support. These factors were all statistically significant.

Improving geographic equity in kidney transplantation using alternative kidney sharing and optimization modeling.
The authors analyzed current kidney allocation and developed an alternative kidney sharing strategy using a multiperiod linear optimization model, KSHARE, which aims to improve geographic equity in kidney transplantation while also respecting transplant system constraints and priorities. They used Organ Procurement and Transplant Network data to determine that enhancing the practice of sharing kidneys by the KSHARE model may increase geographic equity in kidney transplantation.
