Advancing Kidney Transplantation: A Machine Learning Approach to Enhance Donor-Recipient Matching.

(1) Background: Globally, the kidney donor shortage has made the allocation process critical for patients awaiting a kidney transplant. Adopting Machine Learning (ML) models for donor-recipient matching can potentially improve kidney allocation processes when compared with traditional points-based systems. (2) Methods: This study developed an ML-based approach for donor-recipient matching.
