titleWhat is the difference between urgent and non urgent patients?

titleWhat is asynchronous matching?

Asynchronous matching is a process of running searches in parallel. It allows you to enter a patient and start the search run, and proceed with other activities within the application like entering another patient or reviewing another match list while the search runs in the background.

titleWhich match types are used for the initial donor/cord match runsearch?

The system by default runs for donors By default, Search & Match performs a 10/10 match run using the haplotype frequency algorithm search for donors if all 5 loci (A,B,C,DRB1,DQB1) are available for the patient. If only 3 or 4 loci are available, the system will scale down to respectively a 6/6 or 8/8 match runsearch, respectively. 10/10, 8/8 and 6/6 are all considered as zero mismatch runs searches and will not include mismatch donors in the results.The system by default runs for cords

For CBUs, Search & Match performs a ≥8/10 match run at allele level using the haplotype frequency algorithmsearch in all cases, irrespective of available patient typing.

titleWhat does Run Mismatch search mean?

By default, the Search & Match Service only provides 10/10, 8/8 or 6/6 matches initially. Selecting the 'Run Mismatch' search button allows you to request a mismatch search to review e.g. 9/10 or 7/8 match results. Once those results return, you will be able to review them by specific loci mismatches or any loci.
