Insurance Type and Minority Status Associated with Large Disparities in Prelisting Dialysis among Candidates for Kidney Transplantation

[摘要] Background and objectives: Disparities in time to placement on the waiting list on the basis of socioeconomic factors decrease access to deceased-donor renal transplantation for some groups of patients with end-stage renal disease. This study was undertaken to determine candidate factors that influence duration of dialysis before placement on the waiting list among candidates for deceased-donor renal transplantation in the United States from January 2001 to December 2004 and the impact of Medicare eligibility rules on access.
