Abstract
Background
The association between prolonged cold ischemia times (CIT), donor age, and outcomes in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) from donors after circulatory death (DCD) remains uncertain. We aimed to compare allograft outcomes in DCD-donor KTRs according to CIT and age.
Methods
UNOS database study (2010–2024) of DCD-donor KTRs on tacrolimus maintenance. We developed a mate-kidney analysis, comparing outcomes where one mate kidney had CIT >24 and the other ≤24 h. We evaluated patient death, all-cause allograft failure, and death-censored graft failure (DCGF) using multivariable stratified Cox proportional hazards models. We compared outcomes across age groups (≥50 or <50 years) and 6-h-period CIT deltas between mate kidneys. We assessed delayed graft function (DGF) occurrence with multivariable conditional logistic regression.
Results
We included 4092 DCD-donor mate-kidney pairs. There were no differences between CIT >24 versus ≤24 h in patient death (aHR 1.12, 95% CI 0.97–1.30), all-cause allograft failure (aHR 1.10, 95% CI 0.98–1.24), or DCGF (aHR 1.07, 95% CI 0.90–1.27). Similar results were observed when comparing outcomes by age group and 6-h-period CIT deltas between mate kidneys. Compared to shorter CITs, CITs >24 h were associated with increased DGF likelihood (aOR 1.42, 95% CI 1.25–1.60), as were increasing CIT deltas.
Conclusion
CITs >24 h in DCD-donor KTRs were not associated with adverse allograft outcomes, irrespective of age group. However, prolonged CITs were associated with increased DGF likelihood. Increasing the acceptance of both mate kidney from DCD donors should be considered despite projected CITs >24 h.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored.
Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include:
Immunology and immunosuppression;
Patient preparation;
Social, ethical, and psychological issues;
Complications, short- and long-term results;
Artificial organs;
Donation and preservation of organ and tissue;
Translational studies;
Advances in tissue typing;
Updates on transplant pathology;.
Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries.
Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
