A new study by UNOS researchers in the American Journal of Transplantation shows that sequential pancreas transplant after a kidney transplant (PAK) and simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplants result in similar patient survival rates.
Implemented in November 2015, the act allows research on transplantation of organs from donors identified as HIV-positive into HIV-positive candidates.
UNOS researchers developed a methodology for quantifying how OPTN allocation policy is meeting the needs of transplant candidates. The first Equity in Access report (available on the OPTN website) studies the effects of the kidney allocation system (KAS) on recipients of deceased donor kidneys.
UNOS staff researchers recently developed a new data report to measure how the OPTN system for allocating deceased donor kidneys is meeting the needs of transplant candidates.
