Figure 3. Conceptual framework for the confluence of social, medical, and health-system factors on post-transplant outcomes.

Figure 3.

In this adapted conceptual framework,34 patient social risks, clinical risk factors, and health system factors interact with one another to drive outcomes. Social and political determinants of health, such as structural racism, government policies, housing quality, and employment opportunities, are upstream and may have an impact on all of the factors depicted in this conceptual framework.
