Outcomes for Somali immigrant kidney transplant recipients in a large-volume transplant center
Introduction
Kidney transplantation (KT) demands that patients navigate a complex healthcare system and adhere to lifelong therapy and surveillance. Cultural and linguistic discordance between patients and providers has been identified as a barrier to successful KT. We studied KT outcomes and disparities among a native Somali population living in Minnesota.
Methods
Between 1995 and 2015, 2,385 patients underwent KT at our institution; 22 were self-designated Somali nationals. Patient and graft survival and time to first rejection were analyzed. Utilization of interpreter services was evaluated.
Results
Patient survival for the Somali cohort at 1 year was 100% and 95.5% at 5 years; compared to 97.2% at 1 year and 89.1% at 5 years for the Caucasian cohort (p = 0.40). Graft survival for the Somali cohort at 1 year was 100% and 95.5% at 5 years; for the Caucasian cohort 94.8% and 81.6% (p = 0.35). Rejection-free survival in the Somali cohort was 100% at 1 and 5 years, for the Caucasian cohort 86.2% and 82.1 (p = 0.41). Among 22 adult Somali KT recipients, 15 (68%) patients frequently utilized interpreter services in their KT-related clinical encounters.
Conclusion
Immigrant Somali KT recipients, appear to have comparable KT outcomes compared to a contemporaneous Caucasian cohort.

To provide to national and regional audiences experiences unique to them or confirming of broader concepts originating in large controlled trials. All aspects of organ, tissue and cell transplantation clinically and experimentally. Transplantation Reports will provide in-depth representation of emerging preclinical, impactful and clinical experiences. -Original basic or clinical science articles that represent initial limited experiences as preliminary reports. -Clinical trials of therapies previously well documented in large trials but now tested in limited, special, ethnic or clinically unique patient populations. -Case studies that confirm prior reports but have occurred in patients displaying unique clinical characteristics such as ethnicities or rarely associated co-morbidities. Transplantation Reports offers these benefits: -Fast and fair peer review -Rapid, article-based publication -Unrivalled visibility and exposure for your research -Immediate, free and permanent access to your paper on Science Direct -Immediately citable using the article DOI
