Study reveals: heart transplant centers that reject more donor hearts seen as worse performers
NCT ID NCT04455893
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how heart transplant doctors and nurses judge transplant centers. 72 clinical staff members were shown different data about two hospitals: one that accepts almost all donor hearts and another that only picks the best ones. The goal was to see which hospital they thought was better. The results help understand how sharing data on donor heart acceptance might change opinions about a center's performance.
