Abstract
Recent news finds transplant slipping from its "darling" perch among healthcare disciplines. Substantial steps need to be taken to enhance patient, public, and governmental trust in the system, especially where historically insular processes are concerned. Panwar et. al. present the compelling operational improvement of involving patients in transplant selection committee deliberations. While opposing viewpoints exist across patient and transplant professional cohorts, the points of agreement are a basis for enhanced shared decision making in transplant.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Transplantation is a leading journal in the field of transplantation. It serves as a forum for debate and reassessment, an agent of change, and a major platform for promoting understanding, improving results, and advancing science. Published monthly, it provides an essential resource for researchers and clinicians worldwide.
The journal publishes original articles, case reports, invited reviews, letters to the editor, critical reviews, news features, consensus documents, and guidelines over 12 issues a year. It covers all major subject areas in transplantation, including thoracic (heart, lung), abdominal (kidney, liver, pancreas, islets), tissue and stem cell transplantation, organ and tissue donation and preservation, tissue injury, repair, inflammation, and aging, histocompatibility, drugs and pharmacology, graft survival, and prevention of graft dysfunction and failure.
