Comparison of actual and predicted rankings for pediatric donor match run with median Kendall’s Tau. This scatterplot (for one particular pediatric 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 H: LAS (69), distance (190.5), ABO(AB), Adult. Candidate I: LAS (92), distance (314.3), ABO(A), Adult. Candidate J: LAS (33), distance (484.1), ABO(AB), Adult. Candidate K: LAS (86), distance (523.2), ABO(A), Adult. Image created by Dallas Wood using Stata Version 16
