Recommendations

As issued by the authors

  1. European HASs differ significantly in which patients are prioritized and how prioritization is performed

  2. 1-year survival after heart transplantation is a poor metric of HAS performance

  3. HAS impact should be evaluated by several measures (survival from listing, time to transplantation, characteristics of transplanted patients) and over a longer time interval to understand the balance of early and late post-transplant risks and benefit
