Evaluation of Discrepant Infectious Disease Results in Deceased Organ Donors: Insights From a Retrospective Analysis of Post‐Policy Testing
This study represents that there is more than a 1% chance that discrepant results will be obtained. Despite the low incidence of discrepancies, these rare occurrences can complicate clinical decision-making, requiring case-by-case assessments. We present several cases in which variability in results can make clinical decisions complex with limited information and the inability to perform timely confirmatory testing using tests not required by Organ Procurement Transplant Network regulations.
