Summary:
People in line for organ transplants gain an advantage by getting on the waiting lists at multiple centers. But that privilege appears to favor wealthier patients and may be exacerbating existing inequities in organ transplantation, according to data presented November 9 at the American Heart Association's scientific sessions.
More than 122,000 people in the United States currently need a new heart, lung, kidney or other organ, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. The nonprofit organization, which manages organ transplantation, allows patients to enroll on waiting lists at more than one center. The idea is that multiple listing helps patients overcome geographic disparities in the availability of organs.
