Visual representation of the matching process, focusing on the approach used when a previously matched female patient was selected as the closest match for more than one POI. In 35 instances, the initial match could not be assigned as it was already matched to another POI. To guarantee precise selection, subsequent matches were evaluated in descending order. Specifically, the second match was assigned in fifteen cases, the third match in ten cases, the fourth match in four cases, the fifth match in three cases, and the sixth match in another three cases. Pink-highlighted matches represent assigned matches, black-crossed matches denote previously matched cases, and black cases indicate non-matched cases.
