The "weekend effect" has been widely studied in various health care settings, but it has received less attention in the field of transplantation. The study by Mohan et al. reveals that this phenomenon exists in discard rates for deceased donor kidneys in the United States. These findings emphasize the importance of reducing unexplained variations in kidney discard rates, especially in light of the ongoing shortage of transplantable organs.
“周末效应”在各种医疗保健环境中得到了广泛研究,但在移植领域却受到较少关注。Mohan 等人的研究表明,这种现象在美国的已故供体肾脏废弃率中存在。这些发现强调了减少肾脏废弃率中无法解释的差异的重要性,特别是考虑到目前移植器官短缺的情况。
