Kidney allocation rules simulator

The greatest challenge of any kidney transplant program lies in finding enough organ donors (in number and quality) for all waitlisted transplant candidates. Unfortunately, we must resign ourselves to a manifestly insufficient supply of organs for the current demand. Furthermore we must be able to predict kidney transplant success at organ allocation if we want to minimize the number of patients who return to an already overcrowded waiting list for transplantation. Therefore, the definition of deceased donors' kidney allocation rules on transplantation must be supported by simulations that allow foreseeing, as much as possible, the consequences of these rules.
