| Core Tip |
The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic led to a shift to telehealth for liver transplant (LT) evaluations (LTEs). In this study, the authors found that telehealth did not have an impact on likelihood of listing, waitlist mortality, or evaluation length for patients undergoing LTE. These findings suggest that telehealth is a safe alternative for LTEs, and that outcomes are no different to in-person evaluations. These findings have important implications: Telehealth can help improve access to LT services, especially as telehealth can be of increased convenience to patients. |
