Using observed data & simulations, @ESchnellinger @DrSteShi et al. found that a modified lung allocation score (mLAS) yields key differences in allocation & possibly modest improvement in waitlist survival, without compromising post-transplant survival.

Grateful to my coauthors and collaborators, including Drs. Stephen Kimmel, @JulieSzymczak, @DrSteShi, Ed Cantu, Doug Schaubel, and @Michael_Harhay for their support on these studies!
The third paper uses qualitative methods to develop a conceptual model synthesizing sources of differential selection that can arise throughout the lung transplant pathway from referral to transplant.
