title = "A novel allocation strategy for the difficult-to-allocate donor: audit of deceased donor kidneys utilised for preemptive recipients within Western Australia",
abstract = "Kidney donor allocation can occasionally be difficult in Australia given a small population spread over vast distances. Therefore, between 2017 and 2019 our service allowed transplantation from deceased donors into local (same-state) preemptive recipients, only if no well-matched dialysis-dependent transplant waitlist recipient was available. Transplantation using this novel allocation pathway was associated with good clinical and immunological outcomes.",
