[Correspondence] The Global Kidney Exchange programme
Gabriel M Danovitch | thelancet.com | 2020-05-09
In their favourable review of the ethics of the Global Kidney Exchange (GKE), Francesca Minerva and colleagues1 gloss over a key point: the absence of transparency in the selection of the compatible donor–recipient pairs in the low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). It is precisely this transparency and the promotion of ethical and effective organ donor and allocation that the Council of Europe's Committee on Organ Transplantation2 and the Declaration of Istanbul Custodian Group3 strive to attain.

[Articles] Monotherapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor or aspirin for secondary prevention in patients with established atherosclerosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Mauro Chiarito, Jorge Sanz-Sánchez, Francesco Cannata, Davide Cao, Matteo Sturla, Cristina Panico, Cosmo Godino, Damiano Regazzoli, Bernhard Reimers, Raffaele De Caterina, Gianluigi Condorelli, Giuseppe Ferrante, Giulio G Stefanini | thelancet.com | 2020-05-09
Compared with aspirin monotherapy, P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy is associated with a risk reduction for myocardial infarction and a comparable risk of stroke in the setting of secondary prevention. The benefit of P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy is of debatable clinical relevance, in view of the high number needed to treat to prevent a myocardial infarction and the absence of any effect on all-cause and vascular mortality.
