Lima's algorithm — lima • histoc

Applies Lima's algorithm on deceased donor's Kidney allocation for transplantation. Ordering of waitlisted candidates for a given donor and according to Lima's algorithm.

Usage

lima(
  iso = TRUE,
  dABO = "O",
  dA = c("1", "2"),
  dB = c("15", "44"),
  dDR = c("1", "4"),
  donor.age = 60,
  df.abs = cabs,
  data = candidates,
  n = 2,
  q2 = 60,
  q3 = 100,
  cPRA1 = 50,
  cPRA2 = 85,
  check.validity = TRUE
)

Arguments

iso: A logical value for isogroupal compatibility.
dABO: A character value with donor's ABO blood group (O, A, B, AB).
dA: A two elements character vector donor's HLA-A typing.
dB: A two elements character vector donor's HLA-B typing.
dDR: A two elements character vector donor's HLA-DR typing.
donor.age: A numeric value with donor's age.
df.abs: A data frame with candidates' antibodies.
data: A data frame containing demographics and medical information for a group of waitlisted transplant candidates with color priority classification.
n: A positive integer to slice the first candidates.
q2: A numerical value for the median of candidates' waiting list (0 - 120).
q3: A numerical value for the third quartile of candidates' waiting list (0 - 120).
cPRA1: A numerical value (0 - 100) for the lower cPRA cutoff.
cPRA2: A numerical value (0 - 100) for the higher cPRA cutoff.
check.validity: Logical to decide whether to validate input arguments.

Value

An ordered data frame with a column cp (color priority), SP, HI and mmHLA.
