Spanish term

Intercambios ganando edad

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
It's a subject heading in a Spanish research article. I'm translating a text about crossover kidney donations in which a donor-recipient couple who are compatible with each other but have a significant age difference (with the donor being older), decide to exchange with a donor-recipient couple who are younger but incompatible with each other.

Suggestions for translation of the title "Intercambios ganando edad"? Gaining age exchanges doesn't work.

Gracias,

Juliette

my understanding is that older patients can donate to younger patients

so this is about age difference between the person giving the kidney and the person receiving it:)

Thank you!

agree philgoddard : It's very hard to translate this without seeing the full text - I'm not really sure what the implications of 'ganando' are.

Exchanges that leverage age

"Exchanges that leverage age" is a possible option

Paired donation matching scheme

The matching process
All incompatible couples wishing to pursue the option of paired donation must be registered with NHSBT (ODT) for the national matching scheme. 'Matching runs' will be carried out at intervals determined by the rate at which incompatible couples join the paired donation list. There are three key stages in the matching process to identify suitable pairs for transplant.

Firstly, all matching pairs must be identified. Secondly, all possible combinations of these pairs must be determined. The final stage is then to identify the optimal combination of matching pairs from all of those possible. It is important to consider not only which couples are involved but also the nature of the exchanges involved (ie who donates to whom). This part of the process is carried out using optimal matching algorithms, in collaboration with a team of researchers from the University of Glasgow (for further details see http://www.optimalmatching.com)

A number of criteria have been agreed to identify the most appropriate combination of matching pairs. These are local exchange, sensitisation, HLA match, age difference between two donors in a matching pair (donor-donor age difference) and blood group match.
