The determination of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is critical for the selection of potential kidney donors. Methods of measurement of GFR are impractical and complex, which led to development of equations to estimate GFR. Objective: To evalua...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Machine learning techniques play an important role in organ transplantation. Analysing the main tasks for which they are being applied, together with the advantages and disadvantages of their use, can be of crucial interest for cli...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Classifiers based on artificial intelligence can be useful to solve decision problems related to the inclusion or removal of possible liver transplant candidates, and assisting in the heterogeneous field of donor-recipient (D-R) ma...
BACKGROUND: Despite the kidney supply shortage, 18%-20% of deceased donor kidneys are discarded annually in the United States. In 2018, 3569 kidneys were discarded.
Recommended practices that follow match-run sequences for hard-to-place kidneys succumb to many declines, accruing cold ischemic time and exacerbating kidney quality that may lead to unnecessary kidney discard. Hard-to-place deceased donor kidneys ac...
Lesion scores on procurement donor biopsies are commonly used to guide organ utilization for deceased-donor kidneys. However, frozen sections present challenges for histological scoring, leading to inter- and intra-observer variability and inappropri...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Personalized donation strategies based on haemoglobin (Hb) prediction models may reduce Hb deferrals and hence costs of donation, meanwhile improving commitment of donors. We previously found that prediction models perform ...

Organ procurement organizations (OPOs) play a crucial role in the field of organ transplantation, serving as key intermediaries in the process of organ donation. However, despite their vital function, there exists a pressing issue of transparency wit...

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 im...
We investigated the impact of donor characteristics on outcomes in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients using a novel machine learning approach, the Nonparametric Failure Time Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (NFT BART). N...
