The difference between age 69 and age 70 is, of course, just a single year. Yet, organizations that receive organs for transplant patients are less likely to choose one from the older donor, a new study finds.
MONDAY, Nov. 21, 2022 -- The difference between age 69 and age 70 is, of course, just a single year.
American organ procurement organizations and transplant centers were about 5% less likely to select or accept an organ from 70-year-old donors than from those who died at 69. While previous research had found this bias in using donor kidneys, researchers wondered if it would happen if other organs were included.
“We were interested in looking at how we could make small changes to optimize our current supply of deceased donor organs, with the goal of both serving the patients on the waiting list and honoring the gift of life these donors are providing,” she said in a university news release.
