The windows of opportunity

Bryce A Kiberd et al. Kidney Int. 2022 Sep.

Abstract

Models to predict survival after kidney transplantation have been developed, which have assisted clinicians in the selection of patients suitable for kidney transplant wait-listing. However, these models have ignored the competing problem of delisting and wait-list mortality, which are equally important in the decision-making process for determining transplant suitability. This commentary focuses on a newly introduced concept that integrates and quantifies the probability of wait-list survival versus receiving a deceased donor kidney transplant.
