Abstract

BACKGROUND: Outcome prediction for live-donor kidney transplantation improves clinical and patient decisions and donor selection. However, the currently used models are of limited discriminative or calibration power and there is a critical need to improve the selection process. We aimed to assess the value of various artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to improve the risk stratification index.
