AI Article Synopsis
- Donor race shouldn't be included in models predicting kidney transplant success and patient survival.
- Excluding donor race from the Kidney Donor Risk Index could lower the number of kidneys discarded, as around 50% of those with high donor profiles might be reclassified positively.
- Future predictions should prioritize biological factors over social constructs for better outcome assessments.
Article Abstract
Donor race should not be used in models to predict allograft and patient survival.Removing donor race from the Kidney Donor Risk Index may reduce kidney discard by reclassifying approximately 50% of high kidney donor profile index kidneys.Future prediction models should focus on using relevant biologic factors rather than social constructs when trying to predict outcomes.
