Health Notes: Mayo Clinic researchers believe many liver transplant...

The liver transplant team at Mayo Clinic in Florida has found, based on 12 years of experience, that more than half of patients receiving a new liver can be "fast-tracked" to return to a surgical ward following their transplant, bypassing a one- or two-day stay in the Intensive Care Unit. For the September issue of the American Journal of Transplantation, the physicians and researchers have created a scoring system, sparing patients potentially overly aggressive treatment and saving substantial health care dollars.
