Evaluation of transplant benefits with the U.S. Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients by semiparametric regression of mean residual life [PDF]
Kidney transplantation is the most effective renal replacement therapy for end stage renal disease patients. With the severe shortage of kidney supplies and for the clinical effectiveness of transplantation, patient's life expectancy post transplantation is used to prioritize patients for transplantation; however, severe comorbidity conditions and old ...

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

Predicting Kidney Transplant Survival using Multiple Feature Representations for HLAs [PDF]
Kidney transplantation can significantly enhance living standards for people suffering from end-stage renal disease. A significant factor that affects graft survival time (the time until the transplant fails and the patient requires another transplant) for kidney transplantation is the compatibility of the Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLAs) between the ...
