Bariatric Surgery for Congestive Heart Failure Patients Improves Access to Transplantation and Long-Term Survival
*Purpose: Obese patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) are often denied access to heart transplantation until they obtain significant weight loss to achieve a certain…2020 American Transplant Congress
Using Artificial Intelligence Tools for Identification of High Risk Transplant Recipients for Focused Management
*Purpose: Resources for post-transplant patient monitoring are limited. Statistical stratification can facilitate focused attention on highest risk patients. We developed a monitoring tool for graft…2020 American Transplant Congress
The Use of dd-cfDNA as a Predictive Tool for Future Proteinuria
*Purpose: Most allografts with proteinuria >1500 mg/dL have new glomerular pathology. In contrast, lower levels of proteinuria are generally associated with non-glomerular, nonspecific histologic changes.…2020 American Transplant Congress
Anticipated Cost Savings of Using Lungs from Hepatitis C-Positive Lung Donors for Hepatitis C-Negative Recipients
*Purpose: We assessed the cost savings generated by additional organ availability due to utilizing lungs from hepatitis-C infected donors for transplantation in comparison to existing…2020 American Transplant Congress
The 1st Year Posttransplant Course Reliably Predicts Kidney Graft Survival up to 15 Years Using a Machine Learning-Based Modeling Approach
Hannover Medical School, Hannover, Germany
*Purpose: Identification of patients at risk for graft failure can improve individual surveillance and early therapeutic interventions. We used a well-documented patient cohort to establish…2020 American Transplant Congress
A Machine-Learning Approach for Estimating Likelihood of Transplant Benefit from Older-Donor Kidneys
*Purpose: There is a shortage of transplantable kidneys in the US. Yet, the discard rate among older donors (55+) is approx. 38% per year. The…2020 American Transplant Congress
Tacrolimus Concentrations Are Associated with Measures of Body Composition in Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Tacrolimus (Tacro) is essential for kidney transplant immunosuppression but has a narrow therapeutic window. Tacro dosing preventing rejection must be balanced with potential delayed…2020 American Transplant Congress
Predictive Validity of Functional Status on Mortality in Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
*Purpose: Frailty and disabilities, though not routinely measured, are highly prevalent in kidney transplant (KT) recipients and predict poor post-transplant outcomes. The Karnofsky Performance Scale…2020 American Transplant Congress
Artificial Intelligence May Predicts Early Sepsis in Liver Transplantation
*Purpose: Sepsis post liver transplantation is a frequent challenge impacting patient outcomes. We aimed to develop an artificial intelligence method to predict earlier the onset…2020 American Transplant Congress
Renal Function Parameters Improve PELDs Prediction of 90-day Death or Deterioration
*Purpose: Reliance upon exception points to prioritize children for liver transplantation (LT) stems from concerns that the Pediatric End-Stage Liver Disease (PELD) score underestimates mortality.…
