Past, present, and alternative criteria for deceased donors prioritized for pediatric kidney transplant recipients in the United States. (A) Donor age versus KDPI among donors with ≥1 kidney recovered for the purpose of transplant in the United States from 2015 to 2022, with notations indicating donors prioritized for pediatric kidney transplant candidates after the December 2014 implementation of KDPI <35%-based prioritization under the KAS versus pre-KAS prioritization on the basis of donor age younger than 35 years (SHARE35). (B) Transplants from IDPC by age of recipient during this period, where the green line indicates recipient age of 18 years. IDPC, ideal donors for pediatric candidates; KAS, kidney allocation system; KDPI, kidney donor profile index.
