When Should AI Decide, Defer, and Deviate? Responsible Automation for Deceased Donor Kidney Allocation

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper proposes an AI framework called the Arbitrator to decide when to recommend, defer, or deviate from historical decisions in deceased-donor kidney allocation. Using data from 2016‑2019 and 2023‑2025, the Arbitrator resolves 93.5% of placement decisions with interpretable medical criteria and defers the remaining 6.5% to humans or more complex models. It identifies 70.1% of historically discarded low‑KDPI kidneys as suitable for out‑of‑sequence allocation, suggesting that up to 43.9% of discarded kidneys could be expedited for transplant.

Paired Recipient-based Evaluation of Survival Prediction for Deceased Donor Kidney Transplants

There has been significant interest in using machine learning algorithms to predict kidney transplant outcomes, such as the number of years until a graft inevitably fails. These prediction algorithms could possibly be used for pre-transplant donor-recipient matching to identify more compatible donors and recipients and thus improve post-transplant outcomes.

CARE: Privacy-Compliant Agentic Reasoning with Evidence Discordance

The paper introduces MIMIC-DOS, a dataset derived from MIMIC-IV that focuses on ICU cases where patient symptoms and medical signs are discordant. It presents CARE, a privacy‑compliant multi‑stage agentic reasoning framework that uses a proprietary LLM to generate structured categories and transitions, while a local LLM performs evidence acquisition and decision‑making. In retrospective evaluations on MIMIC‑DOS, CARE outperforms other LLMs and agentic workflows, demonstrating stronger handling of conflicting clinical evidence while preserving patient privacy.
