Expanding gaps between the number of patients awaiting transplantation and the number who receive organs in the United States has been associated with heightened disease severity among transplant candidates and more common use of organs from non-standard donors. We summarize data on the economic consequences of liver and renal allograft quality in contemporary practice. Policy makers and providers must work together to ensure that financial disincentives do not lead to wastage of lifesaving organs.
在美国，等待移植的患者数量与接受器官移植的患者数量之间的差距不断扩大，这与移植候选者中疾病严重程度的加剧以及非标准供体器官使用的增多有关。我们总结了当代实践中肝和肾同种异体移植质量的经济后果数据。政策制定者和医疗服务提供者必须共同努力，确保经济上的不利因素不会导致挽救生命的器官被浪费。
