Impact of 2018 allocation system change on heart transplantation outcomes in china: a retrospective analysis
Our findings provide preliminary evidence that China's urgency-based allocation system prioritizes critically ill recipients while maintaining comparable 1-year survival. These findings provide initial validation of the policy's clinical effectiveness in balancing equity and survival benefits. However, larger and more comprehensive datasets are needed for further confirmation.
