Mashup Score: 2Disparities in Kidney Transplant Waitlisting Among Young Patients Without Medical Comorbidities - 1 year(s) ago
Research over the last several decades has described disparities in access to kidney transplantation by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status (SES), gender, and geographic region, revealing substantial inequities across all steps in the transplant process. For example, dialysis patients with lower (vs. higher) SES have lower rates of referral, and while Black (vs. non-Hispanic White) patients in the Southeastern United States have higher rates of referral for transplant evaluation, they have lower rates of initiating the medical evaluation1, are less likely to be waitlisted2 or to receive a living-donor transplant3,4, and have poorer outcomes post-transplant5,6.

Mashup Score: 0UM Medicine Faculty-Scientists and Clinicians Perform Second Historic Transplant of Pig Heart into Patient with End-Stage Cardiovascular Disease - 1 year(s) ago
September 25, 2023 — After world’s first successful transplant in 2022, also performed at the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC), this groundbreaking transplant team performed second pig heart transplant on patient deemed ineligible for traditional heart transplant. A 58-year-old patient with terminal heart disease became the second patient in the world to receive a historic transplant of a genetically-modified pig heart on September 20. He is recovering and communicating with his loved ones. This is only the second time in the world that a genetically modified pig heart has been transplanted into a living patient. Both historic surgeries were performed by University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) faculty at the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMMC). The first historic surgery, performed in January, 2022, was conducted on David Bennett by University of Maryland Medicine surgeons (comprising UMSOM and UMMC), who are recognized as the leaders in cardiac xenot
