Investigating the Classification of Living Kidney Donation Experiences on Reddit and Understanding the Sensitivity of ChatGPT to Prompt Engineering: Content Analysis

Investigating the Classification of Living Kidney Donation Experiences on Reddit and Understanding the Sensitivity of ChatGPT to Prompt Engineering: Content Analysis

Currently, the median wait time for a transplant is approximately 4 years in the United States, and approximately 5000 patients die every year while being on the transplant waiting list [4]. Living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) generally provides better outcomes than deceased donor transplants but requires that a potential living donor be made aware that they can donate to a specific patient with end-stage renal disease and offer to do so.

Exploring the Potential of an Eye Tissue Donor Reporting App in Enhancing the Procurement of Corneal Donors: Mixed Methods Observational Study

Exploring the Potential of an Eye Tissue Donor Reporting App in Enhancing the Procurement of Corneal Donors: Mixed Methods Observational Study

In some instances, patients may be denied a transplant due to the unavailability of suitable donor corneas. Prolonged waiting times and the inability to perform timely corneal transplantation contribute to elevated health care costs. Individuals with visual impairments may require ongoing medical care, rehabilitation services, and assistive devices, placing a financial burden on both health care systems and individuals [8].

Patient Engagement With and Perspectives on a Mobile Health Home Spirometry Intervention: Mixed Methods Study

At the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), a real-world RPM program for lung transplant recipients was launched in 2020 and is currently ongoing [14]. Patients used Bluetooth-enabled home spirometers to monitor pulmonary function and reported results and outcomes using a web-based chat interface.

Intravenous Ascorbic Acid for the Prevention of Postreperfusion Syndrome in Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Intravenous Ascorbic Acid for the Prevention of Postreperfusion Syndrome in Orthotopic Liver Transplantation: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

The first liver transplant (LT) in the world was performed in 1963 [1], but the first successful transplant was carried out by Dr Starzl at the University of Pittsburgh in 1967 [2]. Until the introduction of immunosuppression with cyclosporine in the early 1980s, the survival rate of transplanted patients remained at 20% [3,4]. The 1-year and 5-year patient survival rates have increased to 85% and 70%, respectively, due to advances in surgical and anesthetic techniques and immunosuppression protocols.

Mobile Technology to Monitor and Support Health and Well-Being: Qualitative Study of Perspectives and Design Suggestions From Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Mobile Technology to Monitor and Support Health and Well-Being: Qualitative Study of Perspectives and Design Suggestions From Patients Undergoing Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

In the United States, annual hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) surpasses 22,000 procedures annually [1]. While HCT is a potentially curative treatment for many cancers, it has significant morbidity and mortality rates [2]. HCT is a rigorous, strenuous, and time-intensive process that impacts patients’ psychological well-being and their overall quality of life [3].

Impact of, Factors for the Success of, and Concerns Regarding Transplant Patients’ Skin Cancer Campaigns: Observational Study

Transplant patients often require costly and time-intensive multidisciplinary care. While taking immunosuppressive medication, transplant patients are encouraged to establish care with a dermatologist for regular skin cancer screenings as they are 20-100 times more likely to develop skin cancers [2].
