There are disparities in access to livers based on transplant patients' height, which
disproportionately affects Hispanics, Asians, and women (across all ethnicities), because …

The EuroTransplant Kidney Allocation System (ETKAS) aims at allocating organs to patients
on the waiting list fairly whilst optimizing HLA match grades. ETKAS currently considers the …

We present a discrete-event simulation model of the kidney transplantation system in an
Indian state, Rajasthan. Organs are generated across the state based on the organ donation …

Despite efforts to increase the supply of donated organs for transplantation, organ shortages
persist. We study the problem of organ wastage in a queueing-theoretic framework. We …

Background. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infects> 60% of adults and can pose an independent
risk factor for allograft loss and mortality in solid organ transplant recipients. The purpose of …

We propose a simulation-optimization-based methodology to improve the way that organ
transplant offers are made to potential recipients. Our policy can be applied to all types of …

The persistent imbalance between organ supply and demand poses a significant challenge
for the life-saving treatment of transplantation. This study introduces innovative targeted …

Matching donor organs to patients in need is a difficult but important problem. A crucial factor
in transplant outcomes is the cold ischemic time of the organ, which increases every time an …

Simulation of patient and kidney arrivals not only can be used in kidneytransplant matching
problem, but also can be used in healthcare system resource allocation (of surgeon, blood …

When considering the matching of donor and recipient pairs for kidney transplantation, there
are many aspects that must be compared and evaluated in order to ensure the best …
