Inferior outcomes of liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma during early-COVID-19 pandemic in the United States Open
During COVID period, there was a significant decrease in LTs performed for HCC. While early postoperative outcomes of LT for HCC were same, the overall and graft survival of LTs for HCC after 180 days were significantly inferior.

Determination of unacceptable antigens by summation of anti-HLA eplet antibody strength (MFI) based on single antigen bead assays: Excellent correlation with negative cell based cross matches Open
The reliability of single antigen bead (SAB) assays and their use in predicting a negative cell based cross match (CBXM) is essential in the era of expanded organ sharing. A wide range of accuracy (80-95%) in predicting negative CBXM has b…
