Sarcopenia and gender disparities in liver transplant waiting lists: evaluating predictive scores and delisting risks
In our study, the GEMA-Na score was the most predictive of list deletion. However, this score does not consider sarcopenic status, which is relatively prejudicial to men. Considering sarcopenic status in men therefore seems essential in prioritizing patients on the waiting list, to avoid overlooking new disparities between men and women.
