A pre-transplantation risk assessment tool for graft survival in Dutch pediatric kidney recipients

BACKGROUND: A prediction model for graft survival including donor and recipient characteristics could help clinical decision-making and optimize outcomes. The aim of this study was to develop a risk assessment tool for graft survival based on essential pre-transplantation parameters. METHODS: The data originated from the national Dutch registry (NOTR; Nederlandse OrgaanTransplantatie Registratie). A multivariable binary logistic model was used to predict graft survival, corrected for the transplantation era and time after transplantation. Subsequently, a prediction score was calculated from th... Mehr ...
