Observational Study on Disparities Among Liver Transplant Patients

This study aims to understand why there are differences in who gets listed for and receives a liver transplant. Researchers will follow 100 patients with end-stage liver disease to look at how personal factors like race, ethnicity, income, and gender affect their journey through the transplant process. The study will also examine if certain language is used that might unfairly label patients. The goal is to find ways to make the transplant system fairer for everyone. Success will be measured by understanding factors related to being on the liver transplant waiting list and actually receiving an organ transplant, both measured after about one year. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
