Heart and lung organ offer acceptance practices of transplant programs are associated with waitlist mortality and organ yield.
Variation in heart and lung offer acceptance practices may affect numbers of transplanted organs and create variability in waitlist mortality. In this study, the authors examined offered acceptance ratios, or adjusted odds ratios, for heart and lung transplant programs individually and for all programs within donation service areas (DSAs) using offers from donors recovered July 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017.
