Comparison of actual and predicted rankings for adult donor match run with median Kendall’s Tau. This scatterplot (for one particular adult donor match run) shows that candidate rankings under a composite-score based approach are generally highly correlated with those under current policy. However, the figure also reveals important ways in which the score-based approach rank orders patients differently than current policy by eliminating hard boundaries. Four candidate profiles are shown to illustrate salient differences in rankings: Candidate W: LAS (36), distance (201.1), ABO(O), Adult. Candidate X: LAS (32), distance (222.9), ABO(A), Adult. Candidate Y: LAS (86), distance (275.7), ABO(O), Adult. Candidate Z: LAS (74), distance (528.6), ABO(O), Adult. Image created by Dallas Wood using Stata Version 16
