Peer Feedback Improves Nephrologists’ Transplant Referral Practices
Medicine, University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, OH
*Purpose: While preemptive kidney transplant is associated with superior outcomes, timely referral remains a significant barrier. Peer feedback may help improve practice. Our hypothesis is…2020 American Transplant Congress
Early Inflammatory Lesions on Surveillance Biopsies Post Kidney Transplant is Associated with Increased Incidence of Late Clinical Rejections
*Purpose: It is unclear whether subclinical inflammation (or subclinical rejection) noted on early post transplant biopsies are associated with late clinical rejections (beyond 6 months).*Methods:…2020 American Transplant Congress
Deep Learning for Living Donor Surgery: AI Recognition of Surgical Video to Develop Navigation Systems for Laparoscopic Nephrectomy
*Purpose: Laparoscopic surgery for living donors requires high safety, thus establishing of navigation system for surgical operation is urged. The purpose of this study was…2020 American Transplant Congress
From Nudge to Nudges: Organizational Factors Explaining Different Incentives but Similarly Low Kidney Donation Outcomes in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan
University of Chicago, Chicago, IL
*Purpose: The research asks why global living and deceased donor rates of the past 15 years in advanced economies far exceed those occurring in Singapore,…2020 American Transplant Congress
Higher State-Level Demand for Renal Transplantation is Associated with Lower Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation Rate
University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, Birmingham, AL
*Purpose: Geographic disparities in deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) persist despite increased allocation system oversight and complexity. The association between poor population health and fewer…2020 American Transplant Congress
Medication Non-Adherence (MNA) Mitigation Practices and Health Care Professional (HCP) Perceptions at U.S. Transplant Centers
