Can non‐directed living liver donation help improve access to grafts and correct socioeconomic disparities in pediatric liver transplantation?

Each year, children die awaiting LT as the demand for grafts exceeds the available supply. Candidates with public health insurance are significantly less likely to undergo both deceased donor LT and D‐LLD LT. ND‐LLD is another option to gain access to a graft. The aim of this study was to evaluate if recipient insurance type is associated with likelihood of D‐LLD versus ND‐LLD LT.
