This presentation explores the effective use of the Expanded Criteria Donor (ECD) kidney pool, focusing on the impact of labeling on kidney transplantation outcomes. We analyze trends in the number of kidneys recovered for transplantation among donors aged 54-65 with minimal comorbidities, highlighting changes before and after ECD policy implementation. The study employs regression splines to assess transplantation odds and age-specific differences in kidney recovery and transplantation rates. Insights from this work aim to enhance practices and outcomes in kidney transplant strategies.
