Transplantation, 2020-February, 2020-02-00, 20200201, Letnik: 104, Številka: 2Journal Article
BACKGROUND.Delisting for being “too sick” to be transplanted is subjective. Previous work has demonstrated that the mortality of patients delisted for “too sick” is unexpectedly low. Transplant centers use their best clinical judgment for determining “too sick,” but it is unclear how social determinants influence decisions to delist for “too sick.” We hypothesized that social determinants and Donor Service Area (DSA) characteristics may be associated with determination of “too sick” to transplant. METHODS.Data were obtained from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients for adults listed and removed from the liver transplant waitlist from 2002 to 2017. Patients were included if delisted for “too sick.” Our primary outcome was Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score at waitlist removal for “too sick.” Regression assessed the association between social determinants and MELD at removal for “too sick.” RESULTS.We included 5250 delisted for “too sick” at 127 centers, in 53 DSAs, over 16 years. The mean MELD at delisting for “too sick” was 25.8 (SD ± 11.2). On adjusted analysis, social determinants including age, race, sex, and education predicted the MELD at delisting for “too sick” (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS.There is variation in delisting MELD for “too sick” score across DSA and time. While social determinants at the patient and system level are associated with delisting practices, the interplay of these variables warrants additional research. In addition, center outcome reports should include waitlist removal rate for “too sick” and waitlist death ratios, so waitlist management practice at individual centers can be monitored.
