Center-Related Bias in MELD Scores Within A Liver Transplant UNOS Region: A Call For Standardization by babic.nikolina is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score–based liver transplant allocation was implemented as a fair and objective measure to prioritize patients based upon disease severity. Accuracy and reproducibility of MELD is an essential assumption to ensure fairness in organ access. We hypothesized that variability in laboratory methodology between centers could impact allocation scores for individuals on the transplant waiting list.
