The Impact of Waitlisting After a Weekend on Transplant‐Related Outcomes for Patients With Acute Liver Failure in the US
Among adults with acute liver failure, listing for liver transplantation after a weekend was associated with lower rates of spontaneous survival and higher one-year post-transplant mortality. Identifying system-level factors contributing to delays in transplant evaluation over weekends may help improve the timeliness and efficiency of care.
