The median number of days from admission to discharge for living organ donors.

Unit of analysis: Hospitalization

Hospitalizations for liver or kidney living donation in the Hospital Morbidity Database (HMDB) are included if all of the following are true:

1. Hospitalization has CCI code 1.OA.58.WL-XX-J (liver) or one of 1.PC.58-^^-^^-J, 1.PC.89.^^ or 1.PC.91 (kidney)
2. Hospitalization has ICD-10-CA code Z52.4, Z52.6, Z52.8 or Z52.9
3. Age at discharge was 18 or older

The following were excluded. These exclusion criteria were chosen to rule out transplant recipients or deceased donors who were erroneously coded with a living donation CCI code:

1. Intervention code is A (abandoned procedure)
2. An intervention with a CCI code that does not begin with 2 or 3 occurred before the episode where the living donation intervention occurred; this identifies non-diagnostic interventions
3. Admission category for the hospitalization is R, indicating a cadaveric donor abstract
4. An intervention with CCI code 1.^^.85.^^ occurred in the same episode as the living donation intervention, indicating a transplantation procedure
5. An intervention with CCI code 1.^^.58.^^-XX-K occurred in the same episode as the living donation intervention, indicating a deceased donation intervention
6. The hospitalization has ICD-10-CA code N18, N08.3 or J96 with diagnosis type M, C, 1, 5, 6, W, X or Y, indicating a diagnosis of chronic kidney disease or respiratory failure
7. Admission date or time or discharge date or time is unknown
