Figure 3. Increased Risk Donor (IRD) kidney transplant calculator.
This calculator was designed to assist clinicians and patients in decision-making related to IRD kidney offers. The user enters the recipient and donor information, and a Markov decision process model estimates a personalized 5-year survival curve if the recipient accepts versus declines the IRD offer. The calculator is available at http://transplantmodels.com/ird/. The methodology and decision process model development used to produce this calculated was described by Chow et al (31).
