Abstract

The system that controls the waiting list (WL) and organ allocation for liver transplantation (OLT) seeks to achieve 3 main goals: objectivity, low dropout risks and good post-OLT results. We sought to prospectively validate a priority allocation model that is believed to achieve objectivity without penalizing dropout risk and post-OLT results.
