• Create cohort: Constructs the initial time-varying cohort of kidney transplant recipients, defining cohort entry, follow-up structure, and case/control eligibility prior to matching.
• Execute matching: Implements risk-set–based greedy matching without replacement to construct the analytic cohort.
• Post-match processing: Derives analytic variables, time-aligned cost windows, and follow-up structure after matching.
• Modeling: Fits prespecified cost and outcome models using the matched cohort.
• Tables: Summary tables and regression outputs generated from the final models.
• Figures:Visualizations of costs, risks, and model-based estimates.
