Antimicrobial stewardship has been advocated for health systems as a means to tackle antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) are coordinated interventions to improve and measure appropriate use of antimicrobials by promoting the selection of the optimal regimen including the specific antimicrobial, dosing, timeliness of administration, duration of therapy, and route of administration.
We would like to invite you to participate in a survey regarding the perceptions of transplant clinicians towards ASPs. The deadline has been extended to August 15.

American Journal of Transplantation
Long‐standing research has shown that increased lipid content in donor livers is associated with inferior graft outcomes post-transplant. The global epidemic that is obesity has increased the prevalence of steatosis in organ donors, to the extent that it has become one of the main reasons for declining livers for transplantation. Consequently, it is one of the major culprits behind the discrepancy between the number of donor livers offered for transplantation and those that go on to be transplanted.

Dialysis centers must provide transplant education to patients but often do not address the risks and benefits of living and deceased donor transplant. In a group randomized controlled trial of 20 dialysis centers and 253 patients, we assessed whether the Explore Transplant education program increased patients’ readiness to pursue transplant, transplant knowledge, informed transplant decision-making, discussions about transplant with potential living donors, pursuit and receipt of living or deceased donor transplant, and whether these effects varied by race.

Patients with greater adiposity prior to lung transplantation are at an increased risk for worse post-transplant outcomes. Few studies have examined whether pre-transplant weight loss mitigates this risk. We examined the association between pre-transplant weight loss and post-transplant clinical outcomes.
