Practices and Perceptions of Living Donor Liver Transplantation, Nondirected Donation, and Liver Paired Exchange: A National Survey
Alyson Kaplan, Russell Rosenblatt, Whitney Jackson, Benjamin Samstein, Robert S. Brown – 2 December 2021 – Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) remains underutilized in the United States. Barriers to LDLT and acceptance of nondirected living liver donation (ND‐LLD) and liver paired exchange (LPE) are unclear.

The response rate was 84%.
