SPLIT News

A recent analysis led by SPLIT investigators

A recent analysis led by SPLIT investigators (Drs. Perito, Hsu, Mogul and Mazariegos) showed that waitlist deaths could be significantly decreased, and liver transplants increased, for children and the sickest adults, by prioritizing children for pediatric livers and with broader national sharing of deceased donor livers, using the Liver Simulated Allocation Model (LSAM) and Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) data. This SharePeds LSAM manuscript was just made available on PubMed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30720563, and will appear in the forthcoming issue of Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition.

TTS welcomes SPLIT as an Official Section

As of 2019 the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation (SPLIT) will be an Official Section of The Transplantation Society. SPLIT is a community of physicians, surgeons, nurses and other allied health professionals whose mission is to improve the outcomes in children receiving liver transplantation through research, improving care, training and mentoring, and supporting children and families.
