Causal nonlinear dose response analysis of donor–recipient predicted heart mass ratio
Accurately modeling the effect of donor-recipient heart size matching is necessary to inform the decision of whether to accept or reject a donor organ. We found that heart undersizing confers an increased risk of mortality. We fail to find large changes in the slope of the effect at any particular PHM ratio cutoff.
