To assess the role of sex mismatch on graft survival after pancreas transplantation. We evaluated 24,195 pancreas-transplant recipients reported in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients over a 25-year period. Pancreatic graft survival (PGS) was analyzed according to donor-recipient sex pairing using Kaplan-Meier estimations. Hazard ratios were estimated using Cox proportional hazard models. A total of 14,187 male and 10,008 female recipients were included in final analyses. Mean follo ...[more]

Project description:This study evaluated the combined effect of recipient-to-donor weight and sex mismatch after deceased-donor renal transplantation in a German transplant cohort and the evolution of recipient-to-donor weight difference over a 13-year observation period. The association of absolute weight and sex difference with graft failure was explored in an outpatient cohort of deceased-donor transplant recipients who underwent kidney transplantation between 2000 and 2012. Graft failure was defined as repeated need for dialysis or death with a functioning graft. Recipient and donor sex pairings were classified as sex concordant (MDMR/FDFR) or discordant (MDFR/FDMR). These classes were further stratified into four groups according to recipient-to-donor weight mismatch ≥10 kg (recipient > donor) or <10 kg (recipient < donor). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were applied to evaluate the time to graft loss adjusting for donor, immunologic, surgical, organizational, and recipient predictors. Sex-concordant transplant pairings <10 kg weight difference served as the reference group. Among 826 transplant recipients, 154 developed graft failure (18.6%). Median graft survival time was 3.9 years; first quartile (0.2-1.2), second quartile (1.2-2.9), third quartile (2.9-5.8), and fourth quartile (5.8-12.4). After multivariable adjustment, the highest relative hazard for graft failure was observed for sex-discordant transplant pairings with a ≥10 kg weight difference between recipient and donor (compared to the reference group MDMR/FDFR with weight difference <10 kg, MDMR/FDFR with weight difference ≥10 kg, hazard ratio 1.86, 95% confidence interval 1.07-3.32-p = 0.029; MDFR/FDMR with weight difference <10 kg, hazard ratio 1.14, 95% confidence interval 0.78-1.68-p = 0.507, and MDFR/FDMR with weight difference ≥10 kg, hazard ratio 2.00, 95% confidence interval 1.15-3.48-p = 0.014). A recipient-to-donor weight mismatch of ≥10 kg was associated with an increased risk of graft loss or recipient death with a functioning graft. Concurrent sex discordance seemed to enhance this effect as indicated by an increase in the hazard ratio. We detected no significant tendency for increasing recipient-to-donor weight differences from 2000 to 2012.

Project description:Background and objectivesSmall donor and/or kidney sizes relative to recipient size are associated with a higher risk of kidney allograft failure. Donor and recipient ages are associated with graft survival and may modulate the relationship between size mismatch and the latter. The aim of this study was to determine whether the association between donor-recipient size mismatch and graft survival differs by donor and recipient age.Design, setting, participants, & measurementWe performed a retrospective cohort study of first adult deceased donor kidney transplantations performed between 2000 and 2018 recorded in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazards models to assess the association between donor-recipient body surface area ratio and death-censored graft survival, defined as return to dialysis or retransplantation. We considered interactions between donor-recipient body surface area ratio and each of recipient and donor age.ResultsAmong the 136,321 kidney transplant recipients included in this study, 23,614 (17%) experienced death-censored graft loss over a median follow-up of 4.3 years (interquartile range, 1.9-7.8 years). The three-way donor-recipient body surface area ratio by donor age by recipient age interaction was statistically significant (P=0.04). The magnitude of the association between severe size mismatch (donor-recipient body surface area ratio <0.80 versus ≥1.00) and death-censored graft survival was stronger with older donor age and recipient age. In all recipient age categories except the youngest (18-30 years), 5- and 10-year graft survival rates were similar or better with a size-mismatched donor aged <40 years than a nonsize-mismatched donor aged 40 years or older.ConclusionsThe association of donor-recipient size mismatch on long-term graft survival is modulated by recipient and donor age. Size-mismatched kidneys yield excellent graft survival when the donor is young. Donor age was more strongly associated with graft survival than size mismatch.

Project description:BACKGROUNDAllogeneic human islet transplantation is an effective therapy for the treatment of patients with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). The low number of islet transplants performed worldwide and the different transplantation protocols used limit the identification of the most effective therapeutic options to improve the efficacy of this approach.METHODSWe present a retrospective analysis on the data collected from 44 patients with T1D who underwent islet transplantation at our institute between 2000 and 2007. Several variables were included: recipient demographics and immunological characteristics, donor and transplant characteristics, induction protocols, and additional medical treatment received. Immunosuppression was induced with anti-CD25 (Daclizumab), alone or in association with anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?) treatments (Etanercept or Infliximab), or with anti-CD52 (Alemtuzumab) in association with anti-TNF-? treatments (Etanercept or Infliximab). Subsets of patients were treated with Filgrastim for moderate/severe neutropenia and/or Exenatide for post prandial hyperglycemia.RESULTSThe analysis performed indicates a negative association between graft survival (c-peptide level ? 0.3 ng/ml) and islet infusion volume, with the caveat that, the progressive reduction of infusion volumes over the years has been paralleled by improved immunosuppressive protocols. A positive association is instead suggested between graft survival and administration of Exenatide and Filgrastim, alone or in combination.CONCLUSIONThis retrospective analysis may be of assistance to further improve long-term outcomes of protocols for transplant of islets and other organs.

Project description:Background: We set out to quantify shared genetic ancestry between unrelated kidney donor-recipient pairs and test it as a predictor of time to graft failure. Methods: In a homogenous, unrelated, European cohort of deceased-donor kidney transplant pairs (n pairs = 1,808), we calculated, using common genetic variation, shared ancestry at the genic (n loci=40,053) and genomic level. We conducted a sub-analysis focused on transmembrane protein coding genes (n transcripts=8,637) and attempted replication of a previously published nonsynonymous transmembrane mismatch score. Measures of shared genetic ancestry were tested in a survival model against time to death-censored graft failure. Results: Shared ancestry calculated across the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) significantly associated with graft survival in individuals who had a high serological mismatch (n pairs = 186) with those who did not have any HLA mismatches indicating that shared ancestry calculated specific loci can capture known associations with genes impacting graft outcome. None of the other measures of shared ancestry at a genic level, genome-wide scale, transmembrane subset or nonsynonymous transmembrane mismatch score analysis were significant predictors of time to graft failure. Conclusions: In a large unrelated, deceased-donor European ancestry renal transplant cohort, shared donor-recipient genetic ancestry, calculated using common genetic variation, has limited value in predicting transplant outcome both on a genomic scale and at a genic level (other than at the HLA loci).

Project description:Background. Scarcity of grafts for kidney transplantation (KTX) caused an increased consideration of deceased donors with substantial risk factors. There is no agreement on which ones are detrimental for overall graft-survival. Therefore, we investigated in a nationwide multicentre study the impact of donor and recipient related risks known before KTX on graft-survival based on the original data used for allocation and graft acceptance. Methods. A nationwide deidentified multicenter study-database was created of data concerning kidneys donated and transplanted in Germany between 2006 and 2008 as provided by the national organ procurement organization (Deutsche Stiftung Organtransplantation) and BQS Institute. Multiple Cox regression (significance level 5%, hazard ratio [95% CI]) was conducted (n = 4411, isolated KTX). Results. Risk factors associated with graft-survival were donor age (1.020 [1.013-1.027] per year), donor size (0.985 [0.977-0.993] per cm), donor's creatinine at admission (1.002 [1.001-1.004] per µmol/L), donor treatment with catecholamine (0.757 [0.635-0.901]), and reduced graft-quality at procurement (1.549 [1.217-1.973]), as well as recipient age (1.012 [1.003-1.021] per year), actual panel reactive antibodies (1.007 [1.002-1.011] per percent), retransplantation (1.850 [1.484-2.306]), recipient's cardiovascular comorbidity (1.436 [1.212-1.701]), and use of IL2-receptor antibodies for induction (0.741 [0.619-0.887]). Conclusion. Some donor characteristics persist to impact graft-survival (e.g., age) while the effect of others could be mitigated by elaborate donor-recipient match and care.

Project description:Donor-recipient (D-R) differences at human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci are currently incorporated into organ sharing, allocation and immunosuppression decisions. However, while acute rejection episodes have substantially diminished, progressive histologic damage occurs in allografts and improved long-term survival remains an unrealized goal among kidney recipients. Here we tested the hypothesis that non-HLA dependent, genome-wide D-R genetic differences could contribute to unchecked alloimmunity with histologic and functional consequences, culminating in long-term allograft failure. Genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array data, excluding the HLA region, was utilized from 385 transplants to study the role of D-R differences upon serial histology and allograft survival. ADMIXTURE analysis was performed to quantitatively estimate ancestry in each D-R pair and PLINK was used to estimate the proportion of genome-shared identity-by-descent (pIBD) between D-R pairs. Subsequently, quantitative measures of recipient ancestry based on non-HLA SNPs was associated with death-censored allograft survival in adjusted Cox models. In D-R pairs of similar ancestry, pIBD was significantly associated with allograft survival independent of HLA mismatches in 224 transplants. Surprisingly, pIBD and recipient ancestry were not associated with clinical or subclinical rejection at any time post-transplant. Significantly, in multivariable analysis, pIBD inversely correlated with vascular intimal fibrosis in 160 biopsies obtained less than one year which in turn was significantly associated with allograft survival. Thus, our novel data show that non-HLA D-R differences associate with early vascular intimal fibrosis and allograft survival.

Project description:Transplantation and pregnancy, in which two diploid genomes reside in one body, can each lead to diseases in which immune cells from one individual target antigens encoded in the other's genome. One such disease, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT, or bone marrow transplant), is common even after transplants between HLA-identical siblings, indicating that cryptic histocompatibility loci exist outside the HLA locus. The immune system of an individual whose genome is homozygous for a gene deletion could recognize epitopes encoded by that gene as alloantigens. Analyzing common gene deletions in three HSCT cohorts (1,345 HLA-identical sibling donor-recipient pairs), we found that risk of acute GVHD was greater (odds ratio (OR) = 2.5; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.4-4.6) when donor and recipient were mismatched for homozygous deletion of UGT2B17, a gene expressed in GVHD-affected tissues and giving rise to multiple histocompatibility antigens. Human genome structural variation merits investigation as a potential mechanism in diseases of alloimmunity.

Project description:BackgroundCurrent risk-adjusted models used to predict donor heart use and cardiac graft survival from organ donors after brain death (DBDs) do not include bedside critical care data. We sought to identify novel independent predictors of heart use and graft survival to better understand the relationship between donor management and transplantation outcomes.Study designWe conducted a prospective observational study of DBDs managed from 2008 to 2013 by 10 organ procurement organizations. Demographic data, critical care parameters, and treatments were recorded at 3 standardized time points during donor management. The primary outcomes measures were donor heart use and cardiac graft survival.ResultsFrom 3,433 DBDs, 1,134 hearts (33%) were transplanted and 969 cardiac grafts (85%) survived after 684 ± 392 days of follow-up. After multivariable analysis, independent positive predictors of heart use included standard criteria donor status (odds ratio [OR] 3.93), male sex (OR 1.68), ejection fraction > 50% (OR 1.64), and partial pressure of oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen ratio > 300 (OR 1.31). Independent negative predictors of heart use included donor age (OR 0.94), BMI > 30 kg/m2 (OR 0.78), serum creatinine (OR 0.83), and use of thyroid hormone (OR 0.78). As for graft survival, after controlling for known recipient risk factors, thyroid hormone dose was the only independent predictor (OR 1.04 per μg/h).ConclusionsModifiable critical care parameters and treatments predict donor heart use and cardiac graft survival. The discordant relationship between thyroid hormone and donor heart use (negative predictor) vs cardiac graft survival (positive predictor) warrants additional investigation.

Project description:The effect of donor-recipient weight mismatch is not well established in ABO-incompatible living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT). A total of 2584 LDKT patients in the Korean Organ Transplantation Registry were classified into four groups according to the presence or absence of ABO incompatibility and donor-recipient weight mismatch (donor-to-recipient weight ratio (DRWR) < 0.8). In a multivariable Cox analysis, the combination of ABO incompatibility and DRWR incompatibility (n = 124) was an independent risk factor for graft survival (HR = 2.73, 95% CI = 1.11-6.70) and patient survival (HR = 3.55, 95% CI = 1.39-9.04), whereas neither factor alone was a significant risk factor for either outcome. The combination of ABO incompatibility and DRWR incompatibility was not an independent risk factor for biopsy-proven graft rejection (HR = 1.27, 95% CI = 0.88-1.82); however, it was an independent risk factor for pneumonia (HR = 2.94, 95% CI = 1.64-5.57). The mortality rate due to infection was higher among patients with both ABO incompatibility and DRWR incompatibility than among patients with neither factor or with either factor alone. The combination of ABO incompatibility and DRWR incompatibility was an independent risk factor for graft and patient survival after LDKT, whereas neither factor alone significantly affected graft or patient survival. Thus, donor-recipient weight matching should be cautiously considered in LDKT with ABO incompatibility.

Project description:We aimed to characterize patterns of differences in heart graft failure rates by recipient sex, accounting for modifying effects of donor sex and recipient age.MethodsWe evaluated 69 246 first heart transplant recipients (1988-2019; Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients). We used multivariable time-varying Cox models, considering recipient sex by donor sex by recipient age interaction and adjusting for potential confounders. Using the hazard ratio (HR) from the models and a fixed profile of recipient and donor characteristics, we also compared fitted absolute failure rates by recipient sex.ResultsAmong recipients of male donors, female recipients of all ages had higher failure rates than males (0-12 y: HR 1.36 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-1.81); 13-24 y: 1.43 [1.09-1.88]; 25-44 y: 1.22 [0.95-1.57]; ≥45 y: 1.16 [1.06-1.27]); differences were statistically significant in all age intervals except 25-44 y. When the donor was male, 13 to 24-y-olds showed the largest absolute difference in fitted absolute failure rates, with rates higher by 11.3 failures per 1000 person-y in female than male recipients. Among recipients of female donors, there were no statistically significant differences in graft failure rates between female and male heart recipients of any age. Although point estimates suggested higher failure rates in female than male recipients <25 y (0-12 y: HR 1.19 [95% CI, 0.85-1.66]; 13-24 y: 1.17 [0.84-1.63]), these were not statistically significant.ConclusionsFemale recipients tended to have poorer outcomes than males, particularly at younger ages and when the donor was male, consistent with observations in kidney transplants.
