Transplant Benefit Score
The Transplant Benefit Score is an algorithmic medical scoring system used for making liver transplant waiting list decisions for the National Liver Offering Scheme in the United Kingdom.[1][2]
In 2023, an investigation by the Financial Times stated that the scoring system might result in younger patients not getting transplants under certain circumstances.[1]
A publication in The Lancet also showed that the TBS algorithm generated implausible results in some circumstances.[3]
