Impact of medical eligibility criteria and OPTN policy on simultaneous liver kidney allocation and utilization

Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) implemented medical eligibility and safety‐net policy on 8/10/17 to optimize simultaneous liver‐kidney (SLK) utilization. We examined impact of this policy on SLK listings and number of kidneys used within 1‐yr. of receiving liver transplantation (LT) alone.
