Defining a Willingness-to-transplant Threshold in an Era of Organ Scarcity: Simultaneous Liver-kidney Transplant as a Case Example.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Organ scarcity continues in solid organ transplantation, such that the availability of organs limits the number of people able to benefit from transplantation. Medical advancements in managing end-stage organ disease have led to an increasing demand for multiorgan transplant, wherein a patient with multiorgan disease receives >1 organ from the same donor. Current allocation schemes give priority to multiorgan recipients compared with single-organ transplant recipients, which raise ethical questions regarding equity and utility. METHODS:We use simultaneous liver and kidney (SLK) transplant, a type of multiorgan transplant, as a case study to examine the tension between equity and utility in multiorgan allocation. We adapt the health economics willingness-to-pay threshold to a solid organ transplant setting by coining a new metric: the willingness-to-transplant (WTT) threshold. RESULTS:We demonstrate how the WTT threshold can be used to evaluate different SLK allocation strategies by synthesizing utility and equity perspectives. CONCLUSIONS:We submit that this new framework enables us to distill the question of SLK allocation down to: what is the minimum amount of benefit we require from a deceased donor kidney to allocate it for a particular indication? Addressing the above question will prove helpful to devising a rational system of SLK allocation and is applicable to other transplant settings.
