| Core Tip |
Sex- and gender-based disparities remain a significant challenge in liver transplantation despite advances in allocation systems. Female patients continue to experience lower transplant access, longer waiting times, and higher waitlist mortality due to multifactorial factors including model for end-stage liver disease-related creatinine bias, donor-recipient size mismatch, reduced access to exception points, and barriers in referral and evaluation pathways. Recent innovations, such as model for end-stage liver disease 3.0, sex-adjusted allocation models, living donor liver transplantation, and size-aware allocation strategies have improved equity but have not eliminated disparities yet. This review summarizes contemporary global evidence and highlights emerging approaches aimed at achieving fairer organ allocation and improved outcomes for female liver transplant candidates. |
