A kidney offer acceptance decision tool to inform the decision to accept an offer or wait for a better kidney.
The researchers developed a kidney offer acceptance decision tool to predict the probability of graft survival and patient survival for first-time kidney-alone candidates after an offer is accepted or declined, and they characterized the effect of restricting the donor pool with a maximum acceptable kidney donor profile index (KDPI). Donor pool restrictions were associated with worse 3-year outcomes, especially for candidates with high allocation priority.
