Jennifer C. Lai, Sandy Feng, Eric Vittinghoff, John P. Roberts – 27 February 2013 – We previously reported that national liver distribution is highly concentrated in 6 US centers, and this raises the possibility of expedited placement. Therefore, we evaluated all national offers of nationally placed livers (n=1625) to adult wait‐list candidates from February 2005 to January 2010. We developed a model to predict national utilization pathways; pathways exceeding the best‐fit linear unbiased predictions by ≥3 standard errors were defined as preferred.
