- Authors
Engen, Rachel M.
- Abstract
An editorial is presented on the prediction of pediatric kidney transplant wait times and the development of pre-allocation transplant policies. Topics include the creation of a predictive algorithm by Alvarez et al. to estimate the likelihood of a pediatric candidate receiving a transplant within a year, the influence of factors such as blood type and dialysis status on wait times, and the geographic disparities in transplant access in the U.S.
