Using Geographic Catchment Areas to Measure Population-based Access to Kidney Transplant in the United States

Conclusions. Patterns of TRR-based kidney transplant rates differ from waitlist-based rates, indicating that current metrics may not reflect transplant access in the broader population. TRRs define populations served by transplant centers and could enable future studies of how transplant centers can improve access for patients in their communities.
