Organ transplant survival rates improve despite persistent donor shortages - News-Medical

This article reports improving organ transplant survival rates even as donor shortages remain a persistent challenge in the industry. For OPOs, this underscores the ongoing pressure to increase donor conversion rates and expand the donor pool, as improved survival outcomes may drive greater demand for transplantable organs. The contrast between better clinical outcomes and supply constraints reinforces the strategic importance of OPO performance in closing the gap between organ supply and transplant waitlist demand.
