AI model prediction

Example proposals

General relevant findings

Pre-transplant mortality (urgency)

Cucchetti, 2007; Bertsimas, 2019

AI models more accurate than MELD score [26, 27].

Post-transplant survival

Cruz-Ramírez, 2013; Briceño, 2014; Lau, 2017; Matis, 1995; Ayllón, 2018; Ershoff, 2020; Haydon, 2005; Hoot, 2005; Khosravi, 2015; Dorado-Moreno, 2017; Zhang, 2012

Predict survival at 30 days, 3 months, 1–5 years post-transplant [2, 28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37].

Most more accurate than current scoring systems.

Survival benefit

(e.g., life years gained)

Schaubel, 2009; Dancs, 2022

Predict survival benefit (using pre-and post-transplant survival predictions) [38, 39].

QALYs

Santos, 2020

Predict 30-day quality-adjusted survival (in critically ill cancer patients) [40].

None in organ allocation: feasible area of future research.
