Predicting Kidney Transplant Survival using Multiple Feature Representations for HLAs [PDF]
Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on Artificial
Intelligence in Medicine (2021) 51-60, 2021 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 ...

Predicting Dosage of Immunosuppressant Drugs After Kidney Transplantation Using Machine Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 While kidney transplants are seen as the best treatment option for patients with end-stage renal disease and kidney failure, the organ's health depends on the dosage of immunosuppressant drugs post-transplantation. Due to the dosage variance based on each patient's unique physiology, nephrologists face numerous difficulties when determining the precise

Perceptions of Illness Severity, Treatment Goals, and Life Expectancy: The ePISTLE Study
Kidney International Reports, 2021 Introduction: A better understanding of factors influencing perceived life expectancy (PLE), interactions between patient prognostic beliefs, experiences of illness, and treatment behavior is urgently needed.

Time-dependent Clearance of Cyclosporine in Adult Renal Transplant Recipients: A Population Pharmacokinetic Perspective [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Aim The pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of cyclosporine (CsA) in renal transplant recipients are patient- and time-dependent. Knowledge of this time-related variability is necessary to maintain or achieve CsA target exposure. Here, we aimed to identify factors explaining variabilities in CsA PK properties and characterise time-dependent clearance (CL/F)

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 2, Page 272-281, February 2023., 2023 Abstract Patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) higher‐risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have a dismal median overall survival (OS) after failing hypomethylating agent (HMA) treatment. There is no standard of care for patients after HMA therapy failure; hence, there is a critical need for effective therapeutic strategies.

Evaluation of an automated choroid segmentation algorithm in a longitudinal kidney donor and recipient cohort [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Purpose: To evaluate the performance of an automated choroid segmentation algorithm in optical coherence tomography (OCT) data using a longitudinal kidney donor and recipient cohort. Methods: We assessed 22 donors and 23 patients requiring renal transplantation over up to 1 year post-transplant.

Rejection-proof Kidney Exchange Mechanisms [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Kidney exchange programs (KEPs) form an innovative approach to increasing the donor pool through allowing the participation of renal patients together with a willing but incompatible donor. The aim of a KEP is to identify groups of incompatible donor-recipient pairs that could exchange donors leading to feasible transplants.
