The optimal hormonal replacement modality selection for multiple organ procurement from brain-dead organ donors
Z Mi, D Novitzky, JF Collins, DKC Cooper - Clinical epidemiology, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
The management of brain-dead organ donors is complex. The use of inotropic agents and
replacement of depleted hormones (hormonal replacement therapy) is crucial for successful
multiple organ procurement, yet the optimal hormonal replacement has not been identified,
and the statistical adjustment to determine the best selection is not trivial. Traditional pair-
wise comparisons between every pair of treatments, and multiple comparisons to all (MCA),
are statistically conservative. Hsu's multiple comparisons with the best (MCB)–adapted from …
