Abstract
- The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network's Membership and Professional Standards Committee implemented an operational rule on March 1, 2017, intended to increase the number of kidneys transplanted from donors with kidney donor profile index (KDPI) ≥ 85% into recipients with poor estimated posttransplant survival (≥ 80%). Using data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, ordinal and logistic regressions estimated, respectively, differences in kidney yield (number of transplanted kidneys per recovered donor) and offer acceptance practices before and after implementation. We included donors recovered January 1, 2016-February 28, 2018. The odds of higher kidney yield for donors with KDPI ≥ 85% were 27% higher after implementation (odds ratio, 1.06 1.271.53 ), but odds were also 20% higher for donors with KDPI
