US EditionsimK Simulation Framework for the Kidney Allocation Process with Decision Making Model
- The study examined data from more than 288,000 kidney transplant procedures performed between 2000 and 2020 to assess how the timing of transplantation affects patient outcomes.
- They investigated whether receiving a kidney before needing dialysis provides patients any survival benefit, amid differing beliefs on timing.
- The analysis included more than 52,000 pre-dialysis transplants and found no mortality difference between early and later transplant recipients.
- Dr. Abhishek Kumar explained that kidney transplants should ideally be scheduled when absolutely necessary, noting that undergoing dialysis for up to six months before the procedure does not cause lasting harm.
- The findings imply patients should avoid rushing into transplantation before dialysis becomes necessary, as earlier surgery did not improve outcomes.

simK simulation framework for the kidney allocation process with decision making model
Organ shortage is a major barrier in transplantation and rules guarding organ allocation decisions should be robust, transparent, ethical and fair. Whilst numerous allocation strategies have been proposed, it is often unrealistic to evaluate all of them in real-life settings. Hence, the capability of conducting simulations prior to deployment is important. Here, we developed a kidney allocation simulation framework (simKAP) that aims to evaluate…
