Tools and Software
The Sharma Lab team has developed an interpretable machine learning-based time-to-event risk scoring tool for lung transplant patients, leveraging UNOS data to predict post-transplant survival at 1, 5, and 10 years. This tool enhances risk stratification and supports personalized clinical decision-making by incorporating key recipient, donor, and transplant-related variables.
