INTRODUCTION: The Allgemeines Krankenhaus Informations Management (AKIM) project was started at the Vienna General Hospital (VGH) several years ago. This led to the introduction of a new hospital information system (HIS), and the installation of the ...

BACKGROUND: Predictive models for delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplantation are usually developed using logistic regression. We want to evaluate the value of machine learning methods in the prediction of DGF.
PURPOSE: Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease. In order to reduce the morbidity of the open surgery, a robotic-assisted approach has been recently introduced. According to the published literatur...

BACKGROUND: Prekidney transplant evaluation routinely includes abdominal CT for presurgical vascular assessment. A wealth of body composition data are available from these CT examinations, but they remain an underused source of data, often missing fr...
BACKGROUND: Chronic rejection forms the leading cause of late graft loss in pediatric kidney transplant recipients. Despite improvement in short-term graft outcomes, chronic rejection impedes comparable progress in long-term graft outcomes.
Acute allograft rejection in patients undergoing renal transplantation is diagnosed through histopathological analysis of renal graft biopsies, which can be used to quantify elementary lesions. However, quantification of elementary lesions requires c...

BACKGROUND: Machine learning has emerged as a potent tool in healthcare. A decision tree model was built to improve the decision-making process when determining the optimal choice between an open or robotic surgical approach for kidney transplant.
