From the research:
“The combination of a national kidney paired donation (KPD)
program and a mathematically optimized matching algorithm
yields more matches with lower HLA disparity. Optimized
matching affords patients the flexibility of customizing their
matching priorities and the security of knowing that the
greatest number of high-quality matches will be found and
distributed equitably.”

My target audience is:
General practitioners
The One Thing this audience needs to know is:
Older patients, especially with cognitive impairment or an acute illness, may suffer adverse effects
from antihistamines, sleeping medications and other anti-cholinergics.
The reason this is important to this audience is:
As the number of older adults suffering from both cognitive impairment and multiple chronic
conditions increases, it is important to recognize the negative impact of certain medications on the
aging brain.
What this audience should do is:
Physicians should talk with their patients about the benefits and risks of these medications and
reduce their use where indicated clinically.
It is important (urgent) for this audience to act now because:
These medications may cause significant cognitive side effects in a functionally vulnerable
population.
