Abstract
Background
Non-virologic risk factors for lymphoma after the first kidney transplant (KT) year or late-onset post-transplant lymphoma (PTL) have been scarcely studied.
Methods
This secondary study re-analyzed de-identified, non-coded data. Cause-specific Cox regressions analyzed associations between non-virologic risk factors and lymphoma or all-cause mortality among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with conditional cancer-free survival one year after KT.
Results
Among 166,256 adult KTRs, factors with the strongest risks for late-onset PTL were recipient age > /= 65 and 50–64 years (HR = 2.38, 95 % CI = 2.25–2.77, HR = 1.77, 95 % CI= 1.58–1.79; respectively) and pretransplant cancer history (HR = 1.46, 95 % CI = 1.21–1.77). Other risk factors for late-onset PTL included alemtuzumab induction, other primary kidney disease, a prior KT, male KTR sex, expanded criteria (ECD) transplant, and acute rejection. Factors associated with a decreased risk of late-onset PTL, albeit with an increased mortality risk, included native diabetic renal disease, pre-transplant dialysis > 2 years, and steroids or proliferation signal inhibitors maintenance immunosuppressant.
Conclusion
Non-virologic risk factors including KTRs advanced age or male sex, prior cancer or KT, alemtuzumab induction, ECD transplant, and acute rejection are associated with PTL beyond the first post-KT year.
期刊介绍:
Cancer Epidemiology is dedicated to increasing understanding about cancer causes, prevention and control. The scope of the journal embraces all aspects of cancer epidemiology including:
• Descriptive epidemiology
• Studies of risk factors for disease initiation, development and prognosis
• Screening and early detection
• Prevention and control
• Methodological issues
The journal publishes original research articles (full length and short reports), systematic reviews and meta-analyses, editorials, commentaries and letters to the editor commenting on previously published research.
