The study, by researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee led by Hariprasad Trivedi, MD, examined data from 70,891 patients receiving dialysis and who were waitlisted for their first deceased donor renal transplant between January 1996 and December 2005. Patients waitlisted in 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2004 were, respectively, 15%, 27%, 37%, and 42% less likely than patients waitlisted in 1996 to receive a kidney within 12 months, researchers reported in The American Journal of Medicine.
