The role of pre-emptive re-transplant in graft and recipient outcome
Background. The effect of the pre-emptive re-transplant, and of inter-transplant waiting time generally, on graft and recipient survival is not well established. Methods. Analysis of the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) data (1/1/90 through 12/31/00; n = 92 844) was performed. Cox regression...

Zusammenfassung: | Background. The effect of the pre-emptive re-transplant, and of inter-transplant waiting time generally, on graft and recipient survival is not well established. Methods. Analysis of the United States Renal Data System (USRDS) data (1/1/90 through 12/31/00; n = 92 844) was performed. Cox regression was used to analyse time to event, with an additional analysis to stratify by transplant era. Results. Having a prior transplant, as well as the total number of transplants, was related to an increased risk of graft failure [hazard ratio (HR) 1.24, P |
