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.
