Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Outcomes following Preemptive Kidney Transplant Waitlisting in the United States from 2009-2024.
BACKGROUND
Preemptive kidney transplantation (prior to dialysis initiation) is the optimal therapy for most transplant-eligible advanced CKD patients. While prior research has documented racial and ethnic disparities in preemptive referrals, less is known about distinct outcomes following preemptive waitlisting. This study examines the association between race and ethnicity and outcomes for preemptively waitlisted patients.
METHODS
We conducted a secondary analysis of a prospectively maintained U.S. cohort using data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). The study population included 98,863 adult first-time kidney transplant candidates who were preemptively waitlisted from January 1, 2009, to December 31, 2020, and followed through December 31, 2024. The exposure of interest was race and ethnicity. The primary outcome was three-year preemptive deceased donor kidney transplantation, living donor kidney transplantation, or dialysis initiation. We used competing risk models to estimate adjusted subdistribution hazard ratios (aSHRs). Data were stratified into three-year intervals (2009-2011, 2012-2014, 2015-2017, and 2018-2020).
RESULTS
Black and Hispanic patients received preemptive deceased donor kidney transplants as often as White patients (era 2018-2020, aSHRs [95% CI]: 0.99 [0.92-1.07] and 1.02 [0.93-1.12], respectively), while Asian patients had lower rates (0.78 [0.69-0.88]). However, Asian, Black, and Hispanic patients were more likely to initiate dialysis (aSHRs: 1.50 [1.39-1.61]; 1.41 [1.34-1.49]; and 1.21 [1.14-1.29], respectively) and were less likely to receive preemptive living donor kidney transplants than White patients (era 2018-2020, aSHRs: 0.49 [0.44-0.54]; 0.31 [0.29-0.34]; and 0.61 [0.56-0.66], respectively).
CONCLUSIONS
Among waitlisted CKD patients in the U.S between 2009 and 2020, rates of preemptive deceased donor kidney transplantation improved for Black and Hispanic patients and became comparable to White patients. However, Asian, Black, and Hispanic patients experienced higher rates of dialysis initiation and lower rates of preemptive living donor kidney transplantation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN) stands as the preeminent kidney journal globally, offering an exceptional synthesis of cutting-edge basic research, clinical epidemiology, meta-analysis, and relevant editorial content. Representing a comprehensive resource, JASN encompasses clinical research, editorials distilling key findings, perspectives, and timely reviews.
Editorials are skillfully crafted to elucidate the essential insights of the parent article, while JASN actively encourages the submission of Letters to the Editor discussing recently published articles. The reviews featured in JASN are consistently erudite and comprehensive, providing thorough coverage of respective fields. Since its inception in July 1990, JASN has been a monthly publication.
JASN publishes original research reports and editorial content across a spectrum of basic and clinical science relevant to the broad discipline of nephrology. Topics covered include renal cell biology, developmental biology of the kidney, genetics of kidney disease, cell and transport physiology, hemodynamics and vascular regulation, mechanisms of blood pressure regulation, renal immunology, kidney pathology, pathophysiology of kidney diseases, nephrolithiasis, clinical nephrology (including dialysis and transplantation), and hypertension. Furthermore, articles addressing healthcare policy and care delivery issues relevant to nephrology are warmly welcomed.
