Differences in mortality by donor sex and age in heart transplantation: An individual patient data meta-analysis
Donor age modifies the association between donor sex and survival after heart transplantation. When appropriately size-matched, female donors are associated with similar or lower mortality compared with male donors in both female and male recipients, suggesting a potential survival advantage with female donor hearts.
