Electronic Companion for “Fairness, Efficiency and Flexibility in Organ Allocation for Kidney Transplantation” by Bertsimas, Farias and Trichakis A. Simulation Results

We repeat Case Study 1 (see Section 4.3) for different planning horizons. In particular, in Case Study 1 we considered a planning horizon of 6 months (primarily because of data availability). To study the effect of the length of the planning horizon, we present here results for planning horizons of 3 months and 4.5 months. Table 3 reports the weights that our methodology assigns to each of the score components of the policy, for the different planning horizons we consider. Similarly, Table 4 reports the average organ wastage, i.e., the percentage of procured organs that were discarded due to successive rejections by patients, and the average life years from transplant. Finally, the distributions of recipients among different groups are depicted in Figure 4 and reported in Table 5.
