The Transplant Benefit Score is an algorithmic medical scoring system used for making liver transplant waiting list decisions for the National Liver Offering Scheme in the United Kingdom.^[1]^[2]

In 2023, an investigation by the Financial Times stated that the scoring system might result in younger patients not getting transplants under certain circumstances.^[1]

A publication in The Lancet also showed that the TBS algorithm generated implausible results in some circumstances.^[3]
