Additional Resources:
- More on UNOS/OPTN Data Input (via Matthew Cafarella, MPH, Senior Policy Analyst at UNOS): You can read more about the updated MELD score here: https://optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/policies-bylaws/public-comment/improvin.... MELD 3.0 is slated to be implemented later this summer. We are also in the process of developing robust educational resources on the topic prior to implementation. I will also add, related to MELD 3.0, that we are still in the process of refining the planned data collection related to TGD candidates. We will provide more information on that once it is final.
