SPLIT-IRTA Email ListServ
The SPLIT leadership recognized the need for real-time exchange of pediatric data in this unprecedented time. In that spirit we are partnering with IRTA to develop a listserv to help track and address both COVID 19 related queries as well as general discussions related to the care of hepatology, pre- and post-liver and intestinal transplant patients.
COVID -19 Post Liver Transplantation Data Collection Registry for Pediatric Patients (0-21 years)
Our intention is to collect and disseminate the experience of our community to better understand the clinical presentation, natural history and long-term outcomes in our hepatology and liver and intestinal transplant population.
After 23 years of being known as "Studies of Pediatric Liver Transplantation” with center-based membership, SPLIT formally incorporated to become the “Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation” at the end of 2018.
The SPLIT Education Committee...oversees an annual SPLIT meeting, which has become the “go-to” educational and networking event each year for the pediatric liver transplant academic community.
Over the past decade, SPLIT has continued to grow in scope and membership, but remains constant with the unwavering vision to be the voice for children requiring liver transplantation.
A recent analysis led by SPLIT investigators (Drs. Perito, Hsu, Mogul and Mazariegos) showed that waitlist deaths could be significantly decreased, and liver transplants increased, for children and the sickest adults, by prioritizing children for pediatric livers and with broader national sharing of deceased donor livers, using the Liver Simulated Allocation Model (LSAM) and Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) data. This SharePeds LSAM manuscript was just made available on PubMed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/30720563, and will appear in the forthcoming issue of Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition.
