Beschreibungen/Notizen
The proposed new allocation system represents a remarkably strong advance. It incorporates extensive research on the prevalence and outcomes of current candidates with highly detailed classification into a plan designed to reduce mortality while waiting, while preserving excellent outcomes post-transplant. The architects of this plan and the analysts who provided the data in this format merit the highest commendation. We would like to take this opportunity to discuss some specific challenges and possible opportunities for refinement of the proposed system.
