Landscape of living multiorgan donation in the United States: a registry-based cohort study.
This registry-based cohort study examined the patient characteristics and outcomes associated with living multiorgan donation in the United States. The authors assert that careful documentation of outcomes is needed to ensure ethical practices in selection, informed consent, and postdonation care of this unique donor community.

Effect of match-run frequencies on the number of transplants and waiting times in kidney exchange.
Many U.S. kidney paired donation (KPD) registries have gradually shifted to high-frequency match-runs, raising the question of whether this harms the number of transplants. The authors conducted simulations and found that longer intervals between match-runs do not increase the total number of transplants, and that prioritizing highly sensitized patients is more effective than waiting longer between match-runs for transplanting these patients. Further, increasing arrival rates of new pairs improves both the fraction of transplanted pairs and waiting times.
