The Mean

Introduction: After nearly four years of Canadian experience with medical assistance in dying (MAiD), the clinical volume of organ transplantation following MAiD remains low. This is the first Canadian report evaluating recipient outcomes from kidney transplantation following MAiD. Methods: This was a retrospective review of the first nine cases of kidney transplants following MAiD at a Canadian transplant center. Results: Nine patients underwent MAiD followed by kidney retrieval during the study period. Their diagnoses were largely neuromuscular diseases. The mean warm ischemic time was 20 minutes (standard deviation [SD] 7). The nine recipients had a mean age of 60 (SD 19.7). The mean cold ischemic time was 525 minutes (SD 126). Delayed graft function occurred in only one patient out of nine. The mean 30-day creatinine was 124 umol/L (SD 52) . The mean three-month creatinine was 115 umol/L (SD 29). Conclusions: We report nine cases of kidney transplantation following MAiD. The process minimized warm ischemia, resulting in low delayed graft function rates, and acceptable post-transplant outcomes. Further large-scale research is necessary to optimize processes and outcomes in this novel clinical pathway.

Background and Purpose: Hospital readmission after kidney transplantation is a real challenge for both patients and healthcare systems. Assessment of the risk factors of readmission after kidney transplantation is vital and can reduce morbidity and cost in transplant recipients and donors. The aim of the current study was to determine the risk factors of hospital readmission in patients undergoing kidney transplantation in Montaserieh Hospital of Mashhad, northeast of Iran. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 523 first kidney transplant patients between January 2013 and March 2019 from the Montaserieh Hospital Information System (HIS) of Mashhad, Iran. Every-time readmission was the study primary outcome. Donors and recipient's demographic data, recipient's comorbidities, reasons for end-stage renal disease (ESRD), panel reactive antibody (PRA) status, dialysis parameters, cold ischemic time, and delayed graft function (DGF) were the potential risk factors. Statistical analysis was done using Chi-square and Student's t-test. Results: Data from 523 patients were assessed for potential eligibility. Based on the exclusion criteria, data from 479 patients were included in the final analysis. 174 (36.3%) patients were never readmitted, and 305 (63.7%) were readmitted at least once post-discharge. 39 (12.8%) were readmitted within the first-month post-discharge. Older age, sex, higher prevalence of comorbidities, diabetes and hypertension, duration of primary disease before transplantation, hemodialysis and duration of pre-transplant dialysis, mean pre-transplant platelet count, intraoperative complications, increased cold ischemic time, and delayed graft function were associated with a higher prevalence of readmission (p<0.05). Conclusion Our results showed that different independent variables and patients' comorbidities were important risk factors for readmission after kidney transplantation. Early prediction of these risk factors could result in prevention from readmission in patients undergoing kidney transplantation.

The Impact

Background Prolonged cold ischemic time (CIT) in deceased donor kidney transplantation (DDKT) has been associated with adverse graft outcomes. Virtual crossmatch (VXM) facilitates reliable prediction of crossmatch results based on the profile of human leukocyte antigen antibodies of the recipient and the donor in reduced time compared with a physical crossmatch (PXM). We hypothesized a shorter CIT since the implementation of the VXM in recipients of DDKT. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of consecutive adult recipients of DDKT. The data were analyzed for differences in CIT before and after the implementation of VXM. Results After the exclusion of 59 recipients (age less than 18 years and/or CIT ≥ 20 hours), our study compared outcomes of 81 PXMs from February to June 2018 against 68 VXMs from February to June 2019. There were no statistical differences between groups based on donor age ( P = .09), donor type ( P = .38), kidney donor profile index ( P = .43), or delayed graft function ( P = .20). Recipients with VXM were older (58 vs 51 years , P = .002) and had a higher estimated post-transplant survival score (59% vs 46% , P = .01). The CIT was significantly lower for the VXM group ( P = .04). Conclusion Our study demonstrated a significantly shorter CIT with VXM in DDKT recipients. Our study was limited with small sample size, but the trend of increased graft survival with higher estimated post-transplant scores and older recipients is encouraging as the donor pool expands with marginal kidneys and national sharing.
