Sex-based disparities in liver transplantation: Evidence from a nationwide Italian cohort
Although sex-based disparities in the LT setting have been acknowledged for several years, particularly in studies conducted in the USA, few data are available in Europe. Our study provides an exhaustive overview regarding the disadvantage facing women outside the USA in accessing LT. By detailing these differences, it provides solid arguments for developing equitable health policy. Given that these differences are affected by the national scenario, having local data is crucial for defining possible targeted actions.
