Multi\u2010listing, or being added to the waiting list at more than\u00a0two centers, has been shown to improve kidney transplantation rates, yet it remains a subject of debate and is understudied in rural populations. We sought to compare demographic, clinical, and donor characteristics among rural kidney transplant recipients who were on the waiting list at two or more centers (i.e., multi\u2010listed) versus those who were on the waiting list at one center (i.e., single\u2010listed) prior to transplant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This retrospective, cohort study used the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) to identify adult, first\u2010time, deceased\u2010donor kidney transplant recipients between 2019 and 2023 who resided in rural areas, as defined by Rural\u2010Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) Codes.

Compared to single\u2010listed recipients, multi\u2010listed recipients were more likely to be college\u2010educated (54% vs. 44%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001) and employed (26% vs. 23%,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.02); they also had a shorter duration of dialysis before transplant (33 months [interquartile range, IQR\u00a0=\u00a018\u201350] vs. 35 months [15\u201362],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.01). However, donors for multi\u2010listed recipients had a higher median Kidney Donor Profile Index (50% [IQR\u00a0=\u00a025%\u201369%] vs. 44% [23%\u201366%],\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0=\u00a00.006).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These findings suggest that while multi\u2010listed rural patients possess characteristics favorable to long\u2010term graft success, they may receive organs from donors with less favorable profiles.
