Declining liver graft quality threatens the future of liver transplantation in the United States.
This study used the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database to inform a 20-year discrete event simulation estimating liver transplantation (LT) volume from 2010 to 2030. It found that if donor liver utilization practices remain constant, utilization will fall from 78 percent to 44 percent by 2030, resulting in 2,230 fewer LTs.
