Unadjusted Creatinine Hinders Females to Get New Liver

- Standard mathematical conversion of #creatinine disadvantages females in liver transplantation prioritization

- We investigated options to reduce this gender inequality

- We identified 72 of 650 (11%) females with an original #MELD score < 20, for whom the adjusted female-as-male MELD score would be >20, thus giving them a better chance to receive a #Liver #Transplant

Today we also publish new data on the laboratory parameter serum creatinine and its use in staging of acute kidney injury:

- Women and elderly patients are systematically underdiagnosed

- A sex- and age-adapted approach is necessary to address this discrimination

Our aim is to automatically identify undetected medical conditions and integrate them into the clinicians' digital workflow.
