We released the NephMadness 2018 brackets back on March 15th. Since then, many experts have shared their thoughts and predictions on which team will win it all. From 32 teams, we narrowed the race down to The Saturated Sixteen, The Effluent Eight, The Filtered Four, and The Left and Right Kidneys. Today, we reveal the NephMadness 2018 Champion:

Patient-Reported Outcomes 

Trial Outcomes Region vs Transplantation Region

The final matchup pitted a crowd favorite from 2017, Patient-Reported Outcomes, against a hot newcomer, The Untransplantables. In the end, the Blue Ribbon Panel agreed with the majority of the crowd and Patient-Reported Outcomes was crowned champion.

Patient-Reported Outcomes wins 6-3.

Comments from the BRP:

They are why we do what we do!

This is a very hard choice as I feel strongly about both, but PROMs wins by a whisker…

Surrounding every kidney is a living person!
