Waiting time is only a factor when patients have the same MELD score. In summary, the priority of an individual patient on the UNOS waiting list for a donor liver depends on the following factors: 1  Local versus distant (donor organs are first offered locally within the Northern California/Bay Area).s a patientâs MELD score increases, the priority to receive a liver transplant increases. If a patientâs condition improves, and the MELD score decreases, the priority to receive a liver transplant decreases.
