The Impact of Living Kidney Donor Glomerular Filtration Rate on Graft Survival [PDF]
Background and Objectives: Kidney transplantation (KT) is the gold-standard treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). An accurate evaluation of donor renal function is critical for living kidney transplantation.

A PROPOSAL FOR THE ANALYSIS OF KIDNEY GRAFT SURVIVAL
A survival analysis using a model provides numerous advantages over other approaches. The effectiveness of concomitant variables in describing the data can be evaluated whether the variables are continuous or dichotomized. We can evaluate the effectiveness of such variables in describing either short- or long-term components of the risk.

Building a Utility-based Liver Allocation Model in Preparation for Continuous Distribution
Background. The current model for end-stage liver disease-based liver allocation system in the United States prioritizes sickest patients first at the expense of long-term graft survival.

Kidney Retransplantation after Graft Failure: Variables Influencing Long-Term Survival
Background. There is an increasing demand for kidney retransplantation. Most studies report inferior outcomes compared to primary transplantation, consequently feeding an ethical dilemma in the context of chronic organ shortage. Objective.

Graft and patient survival in kidney transplantation: A single-center experience
Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease need renal replacement therapy, including hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplant (KT), to live a relatively normal life.

A predictive model for kidney transplant graft survival using machine learning [PDF]
Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for end-stage renal failure patients. The predominant method used for kidney quality assessment is the Cox regression-based, kidney donor risk index. A machine learning method may provide improved prediction of transplant outcomes and help decision-making. A popular tree-based machine learning method, random
