Observational analysis found higher excess mortality in female kidney candidates under 60, suggesting disparities in transplant access.

Excess mortality was higher in female kidney candidates under 60 years, while it decreased for those 60 and older.
Among liver candidates, excess mortality patterns varied by age and listing era, showing complex interactions with sex.
Analysis utilized time-dependent relative survival models, examining data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients.
Findings imply a need for equitable transplant policies that address sex differences in excess mortality among candidates.

Vinson et al. (2025) studied this question.
