Background There is currently no consensus as to a standardized tool for frailty
measurement in any patient population. In the solid-organ transplantation population …

Risk prediction scores have been developed to predict survival following heart
transplantation (HT). Our objective was to systematically review the model characteristics …

The proposed donor heart selection guidelines provide evidence-based and expert-
consensus recommendations for the selection of donor hearts following brain death. These …

Graft allocation rules for heart transplantation are necessary because of the shortage of
heart donors, resulting in high waitlist mortality. The Agence de la biomédecine is the …

Abstract In 2018, the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) adopted a 6‐tier system for
heart allocation which shifted patterns in listing strategies. The effects of the change on …

Abstract Purpose of Review The rate of heart transplants, while steadily increasing, is
insufficient to meet the growing list of transplant candidates. Marginal donors expand the …

Heart failure (HF) has high event rates, mortality, and is challenging to manage in clinical
practice. Clinical management is complicated by complex therapeutic strategies in a …

BACKGROUND: In 2018, an algorithm-based allocation system for heart transplantation
(HT) was implemented in France. Its effect on access to HT of patients with rare causes of …

Importance Wide state-level variability in waiting list outcomes have been noted for patients
listed for heart transplant in the US, but little is known regarding center-level transplant rates …

Accurate risk stratification of early heart transplant failure is required to avoid futile
transplants and rationalize donor selection. We aimed to evaluate the statistical performance …
