Match Offer Process
Pair Match Power Pair Match Power is the key to understanding wait time Pair Match Power (PMP) is the most accurate predictor of paired exchange wait time and should be used by patients and clinicians to develop individual matching strategies for pairs
How is PMP Calculated?
Rule of Thumb If PMP=400+ Pair will match immediately If PMP>200 Pair is easy to match If PMP<100 Pair is hard to match If PMP=0 Pair nearly impossible to match
