The new method developed by experts uses AI and its 'memory' of tens of thousands of images of donor organs to identify those that offer the best chance of transplant success.
Newly developed artificial intelligence technology can now choose donor organs for transplant with much greater accuracy than humans, according to British researchers.
Currently, surgeons examine donor organs and use their own judgement to assess whether they are of good enough quality to be suitable for transplanting into patients. Ministers are backing the project, as well as NHS Blood and Transplant and the NIHR Blood and Transplant Research Unit. Work is ongoing to define the technology, but the team, which includes experts from the University of Oxford, believe it will deliver results for the NHS in the future.

Perinatal and pediatric outcomes associated with the use of fertility treatment: a population-based retrospective cohort study in Ontario, Canada - BMC Pregnancy and ChildbirthBackground Around 2% of births in Ontario, Canada involve the use of assisted reproductive technology (ART), and it is rising due to the implementation of a publicly funded ART program in 2016. To better understand the impact of fertility treatments, we assessed perinatal and pediatric health outcomes associated with ART, hormonal treatments, and artificial insemination compared with spontaneously conceived births. Methods This population-based retrospective cohort study was conducted using provincial birth registry data linked with fertility registry and health administrative databases in Ontario, Canada. Live births and stillbirths from January 2013 to July 2016 were included and followed to age one. The risks of adverse pregnancy, birth and infant health outcomes were assessed by conception method (spontaneous conception, ART – in vitro fertilization and non-ART – ovulation induction, intra-uterine or vaginal insemination) using risk ratios and incidence rate ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Propensity score weighting using a generalized boosted model was applied to adjust for confounding. Result(s) Of 177,901 births with a median gestation age of 39 weeks (IQR 38.0–40.0), 3,457 (1.9%) were conceived via ART, and 3,511 (2.0%) via non-ART treatments. There were increased risks (adjusted risk ratio [95% CI]) of cesarean delivery (ART: 1.44 [1.42–1.47]; non-ART: 1.09 [1.07–1.11]), preterm birth (ART: 2.06 [1.98–2.14]; non-ART: 1.85 [1.79–1.91]), very preterm birth (ART: 2.99 [2.75–3.25]; non-ART: 1.89 [1.67–2.13]), 5-min Apgar | 7 (ART: 1.28 [1.16–1.42]; non-ART: 1.62 [1.45–1.81]), and composite neonatal adverse outcome indicator (ART: 1.61 [1.55–1.68]; non-ART: 1.29 [1.25–1.34]). Infants born after fertility treatments had increased risk of admission to neonatal intensive care unit (ART: 1.98 [1.84–2.13]; non-ART: 1.59 [1.51–1.67]) and prolonged birth admission (≥ 3 days) (ART: 1.60 [1.54–1.65]; non-ART: 1.42 [1.39–1.45]). The rate of emergency and in-hos
