Core Tip Delayed graft function significantly impacts kidney transplant outcomes, yet predicting it remains challenging. Recent evidence shows that machine learning (ML) models offer only modest improvements over the traditional logistic regression model when the dataset is of limited quality. High-quality, comprehensive data and interpretable models are critical for accurate risk stratification. Integrating ML with transparent statistical approaches may optimize predictive performance and support clinically meaningful decision-making in transplantation.
