Eliminating Transplant Waiting Time Inequities - with an application to Kidney Allocation in the USA

• First study to model and minimize racial inequality in deceased organ donation for transplant waiting time probability. Combines Rawls’ theory of justice with queuing network flow theory. Presents a compact optimal algorithm maximize equity allocation across blood types ethnic groups. Analyses discusses implemented policies improve kidney the USA. Inequities times donor transplantation have received considerable attention last three decades motivated policy reforms. This holds particularly true United States, where more than 90,000 patients are wait listed average vary considerably among from different research presents novel approach formally model, analyze, optimize probabilities using models, flows, Theory Justice. The presented formal models address inequities resulting type incompatibilities, which interrelated differences patient rates. Moreover, we present results an application lists States. findings indicate that currently practiced red can virtually resolve related
