A Tale Full of Sound and Fury.

In the current issue of Liver Transplantation, Chyou et al present an analysis of the new Acuity Circle (AC) distribution model for liver transplantation in the United States. 1 The authors analyzed Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) data from the six month period prior to the adoption of the policy (8/8/2019-2/3/2020), compared to the six months after the policy began (3/5/2020-8/31/2020), excluding status 1A, pediatric, living donor transplants, and transplants performed within the month of February to allow for a one-month "adjustment period."
