A Hybrid Model Combining Survival Analysis, Knapsack Optimization and Supervised Learning to Extrapolate the Evolution of Kidney Transplantation Patients from Donors with Expanded Criteria After Controlled Circulatory Death
*Purpose: Kidney transplantation (KT) with expanded criteria donors (ECD) after controlled circulatory death (cDCD) in high-risk patients is being debated. We categorize patients via a…2022 American Transplant Congress
Can We Predict Progression of Potential Donation After Cardiac Death Donors (DCD) Using DonorNet?
*Purpose: DCD utilization of livers is limited by unpredictability of progression, perceived worse outcome, and costs related to deployment of resources. We aimed to predict…2022 American Transplant Congress
Liver and Kidney Transplantation from Donation After Circulatory Death Heart Donors in the US: Better Early Outcomes with Normothermic Regional Perfusion versus Cold Flush

Metabolic Outcomes After Pancreas Transplant Alone from Donation After Circulatory Death Donor – The UK Registry Analysis
*Purpose: Extrapolating data from early DCD (donation after circulatory death) kidney transplantation, pancreas transplants from DCD grafts were feared to have worse metabolic outcomes. Hence,…2022 American Transplant Congress
Comparison of Outcomes in High Donation After Circulatory Death Liver Transplantation Usage Centers in the Acuity Circles Era
*Purpose: The recent acuity circles (AC) liver allocation policy has increased rates of donation after circulatory death (DCD) liver transplantation. We hypothesize transplant centers with…2022 American Transplant Congress
Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on CMS Organ Procurement Organization Performance Metrics
