  \begin{block}{Background}

    \begin{itemize}
        \item \textbf{Kidney transplantation (KT)}: recognised as the best treatment for \textbf{end-stage chronic renal disease}
        \begin{itemize}
            \setlength{\itemindent}{1em}
            \item \textbf{Graft shortage} in countries with aging population

            \textbf{\textcolor{nottblue}{$\Rightarrow$ Necessity for expansion of graft pool}}
        \end{itemize}
        \item Wide use of \textbf{marginal grafts} with suboptimal properties for patient-graft survival
        \item Decision making tools to assist clinicians in evaluating graft proposals
        \begin{itemize}
            \setlength{\itemindent}{1em}
            \item \textbf{ECD \cite{metzger2003expanded}} Older than 60 years old or between 50 and 59 with at least 2 comorbidities among: high serum creatinine, history of hypertension and death by CVA
            
            \textbf{\textcolor{nottblue}{$\Rightarrow$ Binary criterion, no gradient between less and more marginal donors}}       
            \item \textbf{KDRI/KDPI \cite{rao2009comprehensive}} Continuous/percentile scale defined by 10 donor features
            
            \textbf{\textcolor{nottblue}{$\Rightarrow$ Not adapted to the french population \cite{dantan2021covariates} and prone to increased graft refusal rate \cite{aubert2019disparities}}}

  \begin{block}{Objectives}

    Develop and validate a \textbf{\textcolor{nottblue}{kidney donor marginality score}}, \textbf{adapted to the french population} and \textbf{suited for the current practices} in KT in France

    \begin{itemize}
      \item \textbf{Donor/recipient interactions} will be studied in order to express donor marginality in relation to recipient characteristics
      \item \textcolor{darkgray}{\textbf{Recipient loss-of-chance} related to receiving a marginal graft as defined by the proposed score will be studied}
    \end{itemize}

  \end{block}

\begin{alertblock}{Materials and Methods}
    \begin{itemize}
        \item \textbf{7622 patients} from the DIVAT national kidney transplant cohort
        \item First-time deceased donor graft recipients without donor-recipient ABO incompatibility
        \item \textbf{Multivariate Cox regression} model built via blockwise variable selection approach (Donor/Graft/Recipient features integrated/removed from the model in 11 steps)
        \item Assessment of \textbf{period/center effect} via adjusted and frailty models
        \item New variable selection steps after integration of period/center effects
    \end{itemize}
        {\centering\includegraphics[scale=0.36]{Images/analyse.png}\par}
        {\centering\small \textbf{Variable selection process} (square nodes indicate all previously included predictors were forced in the model during backward selection, circle nodes indicate no variable was forced)\par}

    \item Donor age, beating heart status ($HR=2.00$), cause of death, creatininemia, height, weight and CMV serology ($HR=1.13$) will be integrated into the score. For a given donor, the score will differ depending on recipient age and donor/recipient HLA ABDR incompatibilities.
