摘要：
The "weekend effect" has been widely studied in various health care settings, but it has received less attention in the field of transplantation. The study by Mohan et al. reveals that this phenomenon exists in discard rates for deceased donor kidneys in the United States. These findings emphasize the importance of reducing unexplained variations in kidney discard rates, especially in light of the ongoing shortage of transplantable organs.
