  8. The Opioid Epidemic What is the Cause ?

  9. Opioid Epidemic Causes What is Causing the Opioid Epidemic ? Narcotics are commonly prescribed by physicians Intended to be used “appropriately” Compton W et al NEJM (2016) described 10.3 million using Rx opioids non medically/not prescribed. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2006: % adults using Rx opioid last 30d 5.0% 6.9% 1999-2012: % adults using Rx opioid >>morphine 17.0% 37.0% 1999-2010: Rx opioid sold 4x over 11 yrs Source: D Goldberg, 2017 “Impact of the Opioid Epidemic on Organ Donation”

  10. Opioid Epidemic Causes Why is Heroin Commonly Abused ? in M.D. prescribing habits have led to under-Rx after initial over-Rx opioids Cost: Heroin vs oral opioids Oxycodone: $30 for 30mg oxycodone tab Street Price $20 for 2x10mg/325mg Percocent tab Heroin: $5-10 for bag of heroin (1-5 bags per day) Onset of Action: Rapid IV: Peak onset 20 s Duration: 4 hrs Smoking: Peak onset 10 min Duration: 5 hrs Snorting: Peak onset 30 min Duration: 3-5 hrs Source: D Goldberg, 2017 “Impact of the Opioid Epidemic on Organ Donation”

  12. The Opioid Epidemic Where is This Occurring ?

  13. Opioid Epidemic Geographic Impact The opioid epidemic does not appear to be affecting all of the US equally The most frequent geographic location is related to the demographics of the opiate abuser Location are places where rural, white populations predominate

  34. Opioid Epidemic Impact on Liver Transplants per Region Organ allocation has been one of the most contentious issues in liver transplantation for the last 5 years Region A Region B Discrepancy Population Population VS Organ Donation Organ Donation Political pressure for redistricting Change organ allocation rules

  35. Opioid Epidemic Impact on Liver Transplants per Region The UNOS regions and OPOs with organ donation now roughly correspond to those areas where the opioid epidemic predominates. Fixed decisions regarding organ allocation are being considered in which calculations are being made from the variable opioid epidemic. Aggressive strategies that might reduce the opioid epidemic, would also quickly alter the organ donation calculation. Subsequent re-redistricting would not be as rapid

  36. Opioid Epidemic and Transplant First Summary Opioids have quickly become the leading cause of death in < 50 yr The opioid epidemic predominantly impacts rural young white males in: 1) Northeast US 3) Industrial Heartland 2) Appalachians 4) Southwest US The opioid epidemic has dramatically the number of organ donors The increase in US donor organs is not homogenous and is clustered in the UNOS Regions where the epidemic predominates Decisions on future redistricting and organ allocation need to consider the variable impact of opioid epidemic

  38. Opioids and Organ Donation HCV+ Donors Change in Incidence of HCV — Impact of Opioid Epidemic Recent abrupt rise in incidence of acute HCV Acute HCV incidence has 3x over last few years. Timing of HCV incidence parallels the opioid epidemic The acute HCV matches the demographics and geography of the opioid epidemic

  45. Opioids and Organ Donation Utilizing HCV+ Donors We have been transplanting HCV+ donor liver allografts into HCV+ recipients for almost 20 years with acceptable outcomes Many centers are very comfortable using HCV+ donor livers

  46. Opioids and Organ Donation Utilizing HCV+ Donors Many HCV+ kidney donor allografts have gone untransplanted however. 900 HCV+ Kidneys Discarded HCV+ Kidneys Transplanted 800 Discarded 700 Transplants 600 500 Transplanted 400 300 200 100 0 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 Transplant Year 2/3 of kidneys from HCV+ donors are discarded Source: D Goldberg, 2017

  47. Opioids and Organ Donation HCV+ Donors Change in Incidence of HCV — Impact of HCV - DAA Therapy The landscape of HCV has changed dramatically over the last few years Key has been the HCV Direct Acting Antiviral Agents (HCV - DAA) HCV - DAA SVR in 98 - 99% pts - Across multiple genotypes - Previous unresponsive to Rx Mild side effect profile has made staying on Rx easy Last decade saw a impressive in HCV infection Nearly all listed transplant patients have had their HCV treated

  48. Opioids and Organ Donation HCV+ Donors 12 week therapy 1 tablet daily Cure Rate = 99.7 % 622/624 pts

  49. Opioids and Organ Donation HCV+ Donors Change in Incidence of HCV — Impact of HCV - DAA Therapy HCV+ Chronic ESLD Rx HCV - DAA pts listed for OLTx

  50. Opioids and Organ Donation Utilizing HCV+ Donors Because of the opioid epidemic, there are significantly HCV+ donors 335 HCV+ donors 682 HCV+ donors 2x more HCV+ donor allografts over last 4 yrs (2012) (2016) HCV+ allografts are youngest of the last 20 years, and are younger than HCV- allografts. The age means improved allograft quality. Because of Rx HCV - DAA , there are significantly HCV+ ESLD pts. It has become harder to find a recipient for HCV+ livers, so otherwise suitable organs have been discarded

  51. Opioids and Organ Donation HCV+ Donors into HCV - Recipients Opportunities 1) Use of organs that were previously discarded 2) waiting time for recipient 3) wait list mortality 4) No posttransplant survival — Often young donors 5) Opportunity for some recipients who might not get a donor

  52. Opioids and Organ Donation HCV+ Donors into HCV - Recipients Pitfalls 1) Infecting patient with potentially lethal virus 2) HCV - DAA Rx is expensive (Who is the payor ?) 3) HCV - DAA Rx not indicated for treating acute HCV 4) HCV - DAA Rx are paid for after willfully infecting patient.
