The effect of the Statewide Sharing variance on geographic disparity in kidney transplantation in the United States.
This study examined the effect of Statewide Sharing on geographic allocation disparity over time between donor service areas (DSAs) within Tennessee and Florida and compared them with geographic disparity between the DSAs within a state for all states with more than one DSA (California, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wisconsin). Findings suggested that changes which are untested run the risk of unintended consequences, and Statewide Sharing should be further studied and considered.
