The UK DCD Risk Score app is a specialized medical calculator designed to complement the publication of the UK DCD Risk Score algorithm (Schlegel A, et al. J Hepatol. 2018), which assesses donor and recipient factors—such as age, BMI, ischemia times, and recipient MELD score—to evaluate risks associated with Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) liver transplants. While the app accurately performs calculations based on the foundational research, it is intended to serve as a supplementary reference tool rather than a definitive means of prognostication. As transplantation practices and technologies have rapidly evolved, enabling more aggressive clinical approaches, users should carefully consider these advancements and incorporate newer assessment calculators alongside this tool when making clinical decisions.
Effective Date: March 3, 2026
1. Data Collection and Usage The UK DCD Risk Score application is designed as a standalone clinical reference tool. The app does not collect, store, transmit, or share any personal information, patient health information (PHI), or usage data.
2. Local Processing All data entered into the app for the purpose of calculating the risk score is processed locally on your device. The app does not connect to external servers or utilize third-party analytics or tracking services. Once you close the app or reset the calculator, any entered data is discarded.
3. Permissions The app does not require any special device permissions (such as access to your location, contacts, camera, or network) to function.
4. Changes to This Policy We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Since the app does not collect user information, any future updates to this policy will solely reflect structural changes to the app's functionality (e.g., if cloud backup features are ever added) and will be accompanied by an updated effective date.
