Defining a Willingness-to-transplant Threshold in an Era of Organ Scarcity: Simultaneous Liver–kidney Transplant as a Case Example
Conclusions.
We submit that this new framework enables us to distill the question of SLK allocation down to: what is the minimum amount of benefit we require from a deceased donor kidney to allocate it for a particular indication? Addressing the above question will prove helpful to devising a rational system of SLK allocation and is applicable to other transplant settings.
