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
Clostridium difficile Infection in Patients with a Continuous Flow, Durable Left Ventricular Assist Device.
NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University, New York.
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) increases morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. Patients with a ventricular assist device (VAD) are exposed to known risk factors for…2016 American Transplant Congress
Ineligible: Attitudes and Follow-Up of Individuals Ruled Out of Living Kidney Donation.
1Yale U, New Haven; 2Northwestern U, Chicago; 3U Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Background: Little is known about the experiences of individuals who begin living kidney donor (LKD) evaluation but are turned down due to ineligibility. We assessed…2016 American Transplant Congress
Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induced Thrombocytopenia and Bleeding After Kidney Transplantation.
Background: Bleeding is a significant challenge after renal transplantation. Anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) induced thrombocytopenia may increase bleeding after kidney transplantation (KTx), but this association has…2015 American Transplant Congress
High Within-Patient Variability in Tacrolimus Levels Is a Predictor of Late Rejection in Young Adult Kidney Transplant Recipients
Introduction: Non-adherence is an important risk factor for late rejection (rejection > 3 months post-transplant) and is the main reason why 17-29 year old kidney…2015 American Transplant Congress
Implementation of Pre-Transplant Infectious Disease Risk Assessment: Sustained Success With Rapid-Cycle Improvement
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati, OH.
Pre-transplant infectious disease risk assessment can identify and mitigate potential risk for transplant candidates to improve post-transplant outcomes. We aimed to improve pre-transplant ID risk…2015 American Transplant Congress
Factors Affecting Efficacy Outcomes at 12 and 24-Months After Kidney Transplantation in Patients from the A2309 Study
1Novartis, Basel, Switzerland; 2A2309 Study Group, Basel, Switzerland; 3Novartis, East Hanover, NJ.
Purpose: Efficacy outcomes post-transplantation are influenced by donor and recipient variables and interactions between them. Here, we present data from a multivariate analysis of risk…2015 American Transplant Congress
UNOS KDPI Score Is Significantly Overestimated for Pediatric En-Bloc Kidneys
Transplant Center, University of California, Davis, Sacramento, CA.
When Rao, et al, published the Kidney Donor Risk Index model (KDRI) (Transplantation 2009;88:231-236), they found coefficients for HLA match, cold ischemic time, en-bloc (EB)…2015 American Transplant Congress
Cumulative Incidence, Risk Factors for and Impact on Survival of Severe Chronic Kidney Disease After Intestinal Transplantation: Analysis of the SRTR Database
Background: Patient and graft survival rates after intestinal transplantation (ITx) have improved. More ITx recipients achieve long-term survival and are at risk for severe chronic…2015 American Transplant Congress
Increased Late Graft Loss in Kidney Recipients With Serum Sickness Disease Following Anti-Thymocyte Globulin Induction: Relation With an Anti-Neu5Gc Response
Anti-thymocyte globulins (ATG) are rabbit IgGs against human T cells widely used as induction treatment of kidney recipients. ATG can induce immune-complex diseases including Serum…
