The purpose of this study was to assess the availability of mental health and chemical dependency services at U.S. transplant centers, because appropriate psychosocial assessment and care is associated with better transplant outcomes. Researchers used the 2017‐18 American Hospital Association survey, Area Health Resource File and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Hospital Compare databases to quantify availability of services and examined associations of hospital‐ and health services area‐level characteristics with odds of offering services with generalized linear mixed models.

 Pregnant women who received liver transplants are at higher risk for pregnancy-related complications, according to data presented at the American College of Gastroenterology Meeting. "As more women of childbearing age undergo transplantation and subsequently experience pregnancy, issues regarding complications and the effect on outcomes will only become more relevant," said Dr. Lindsay A. Sobotka, a fellow at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. For the study, the Ohio State research team analyzed a large inpatient sample of data from pregnant women who received care between 2005 and 2013.

For those most in need, the National Living Donor Assistance Center provides reimbursement to defray travel and subsistence costs associated with living donor evaluation, surgery, and follow‐up. While this program currently supports nine percent of all U.S. living donors, there is tremendous variability in its utilization across U.S. transplant centers, which may limit patient access to living donor transplantation.

Diagnosing lung transplant rejection currently depends on histologic assessment of transbronchial biopsies with limited reproducibility and considerable risk of complications. Mucosal biopsies are safer but not histologically interpretable. Microarray‐based diagnostic systems for TBBs and other transplants suggest such systems could assess mucosal biopsies as well.
