Study highlights racial disparities in liver transplantation listing
A new study of liver transplant centers confirms that non-Hispanic white patients get placed on liver transplant waitlists at disproportionately higher rates than non-Hispanic Black patients. However, researchers went a step further as they identified key reasons for that disparity: disproportionate access to private health insurance, travel distance to transplant centers, and a potential lack of knowledge among both practitioners and patients about available options.
The study was selected for the 2020 Southern Surgical Association Program and published as an article in press on the website of the
Journal of the American College of Surgeons in advance of print.
