Waitlist and Post-Lung Transplant Mortality Vary by Diagnosis for a Given Lung Allocation Score.
The lung allocation score (LAS) is used to prioritize candidates based on predicted one-year waitlist mortality and post-transplant survival. Lung diagnosis is factored into LAS,…2016 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Delayed Graft Function Varies by Demographic and Clinical Characteristics in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.
Single-center studies have suggested potential differences in the impact of DGF by recipients' biological susceptibility, quality of allograft, and immune compatibility. The goal of this…2016 American Transplant Congress

Evaluation of Scoring Systems Predicting Patient Survival at Time of Kidney Transplantation.
Nephrology, Charite, Berlin, Germany.
Introduction:Estimating life expectancy in kidney transplant recipients (KTR) at time of transplantation is important to achieve the best functional match between patient and graft survival.…2016 American Transplant Congress
Muscle Density Is Associated with Mortality Among Kidney Waitlist Candidates.
Background: Morphometric assessments, such as muscle density and body fat distribution, have emerged as strong predictors of cardiovascular risk and post-operative morbidity and mortality. To…2016 American Transplant Congress
The Burden and Outcomes of Fractures in Kidney Transplant Recipients.
Background: Kidney transplantation confers an increased risk for bone fractures. However, there is poor consensus on the incidence of fractures in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs),…2016 American Transplant Congress
Prediction of Patient Survival After Kidney Transplantation: Construction, Validation and Evaluation of Decision Models Using Data Mining Approaches.
Understanding the risk factors that predispose to death is important in order to deliver the most appropriate therapy to patients (pts) with kidney transplantation (Tx).…2016 American Transplant Congress
Soluble ST2 and Cardiovascular (CV) Outcomes and Mortality in Kidney Transplant Candidates.
1Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, AZ; 2Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.
Introduction: Soluble ST2(sST2), involved in T-cell mediated inflammation and cardiac fibrosis, is a better predictor of cardiovascular events(CVE) in heart failure(HF) and is less affected…2016 American Transplant Congress
Outcomes of Solid Organ Transplant Recipients with Pre-Existing Malignancies.
Background: Pre-transplant malignancy (PTM) is considered a relative contraindication for transplantation due to the heightened risk of cancer recurrence associated with immunosuppression. However, little has…
