Prediction system for risk of allograft loss in patients receiving kidney transplants: international derivation and validation study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To develop and validate an integrative system to predict long term kidney allograft failure. DESIGN:International cohort study. SETTING:Three cohorts including kidney transplant recipients from 10 academic medical centres from Europe and the United States. PARTICIPANTS:Derivation cohort: 4000 consecutive kidney recipients prospectively recruited in four French centres between 2005 and 2014. Validation cohorts: 2129 kidney recipients from three centres in Europe and 1428 from three centres in North America, recruited between 2002 and 2014. Additional validation in three randomised controlled trials (NCT01079143, EudraCT 2007-003213-13, and NCT01873157). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE:Allograft failure (return to dialysis or pre-emptive retransplantation). 32 candidate prognostic factors for kidney allograft survival were assessed. RESULTS:Among the 7557 kidney transplant recipients included, 1067 (14.1%) allografts failed after a median post-transplant follow-up time of 7.12 (interquartile range 3.51-8.77) years. In the derivation cohort, eight functional, histological, and immunological prognostic factors were independently associated with allograft failure and were then combined into a risk prediction score (iBox). This score showed accurate calibration and discrimination (C index 0.81, 95% confidence interval 0.79 to 0.83). The performance of the iBox was also confirmed in the validation cohorts from Europe (C index 0.81, 0.78 to 0.84) and the US (0.80, 0.76 to 0.84). The iBox system showed accuracy when assessed at different times of evaluation post-transplant, was validated in different clinical scenarios including type of immunosuppressive regimen used and response to rejection therapy, and outperformed previous risk prediction scores as well as a risk score based solely on functional parameters including estimated glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria. Finally, the accuracy of the iBox risk score in predicting long term allograft loss was confirmed in the three randomised controlled trials. CONCLUSION:An integrative, accurate, and readily implementable risk prediction score for kidney allograft failure has been developed, which shows generalisability across centres worldwide and common clinical scenarios. The iBox risk prediction score may help to guide monitoring of patients and further improve the design and development of a valid and early surrogate endpoint for clinical trials. TRIAL REGISTRATION:Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03474003.

Project description:Rationale & objectiveThe Kidney Failure Risk Equation (KFRE) is a simple widely validated prediction model using age, sex, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio to predict the risk for end-stage kidney disease. Data are limited for its applicability to kidney transplant recipients.Study designValidation study of the KFRE as a post hoc analysis of the Folic Acid for Vascular Outcomes Reduction in Transplantation (FAVORIT) Trial.Setting & participantsAdult kidney transplant recipients with functioning kidney allografts at least 6 months posttransplantation from 30 centers in the United States, Canada, and Brazil. Participants with estimated glomerular filtration rates < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at study entry were included.Predictor2- and 5-year kidney failure risk predicted by the KFRE using variables at study entry.OutcomeGraft loss, defined by initiation of dialysis.Analytical approachDiscrimination of the KFRE was assessed using C statistics; calibration was assessed by plotting predicted risk against observed cumulative incidence of graft loss.Results2,889 participants were included. Within 2 years, 98 participants developed graft loss, 107 participants died with a functioning graft, and 129 participants were lost to follow-up, and by 5 years, 252 had developed graft loss, 265 died with a functioning graft, and 1,543 were lost to follow-up. The KFRE demonstrated accurate calibration and discrimination (C statistic, 0.85 [95% CI, 0.81-0.88] at 2 years and 0.81 [95% CI, 0.78-0.84] at 5 years); performance was similar regardless of donor type (living vs deceased) and graft vintage, with the noted exception of poorer calibration for graft vintage less than 2 years.LimitationsUnavailable cause of graft loss.ConclusionsThe KFRE accurately predicted the risk for graft loss among adult kidney transplant recipients with graft vintage longer than 2 years and may be a useful prognostic tool for nephrologists caring for kidney transplant recipients.

Project description:ImportanceSome patients will develop chronic kidney disease after a hospitalization with acute kidney injury; however, no risk-prediction tools have been developed to identify high-risk patients requiring follow-up.ObjectiveTo derive and validate predictive models for progression of acute kidney injury to advanced chronic kidney disease.Design, setting, and participantsData from 2 population-based cohorts of patients with a prehospitalization estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of more than 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 and who had survived hospitalization with acute kidney injury (defined by a serum creatinine increase during hospitalization > 0.3 mg/dL or > 50% of their prehospitalization baseline), were used to derive and validate multivariable prediction models. The risk models were derived from 9973 patients hospitalized in Alberta, Canada (April 2004-March 2014, with follow-up to March 2015). The risk models were externally validated with data from a cohort of 2761 patients hospitalized in Ontario, Canada (June 2004-March 2012, with follow-up to March 2013).ExposuresDemographic, laboratory, and comorbidity variables measured prior to discharge.Main outcomes and measuresAdvanced chronic kidney disease was defined by a sustained reduction in eGFR less than 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 for at least 3 months during the year after discharge. All participants were followed up for up to 1 year.ResultsThe participants (mean [SD] age, 66 [15] years in the derivation and internal validation cohorts and 69 [11] years in the external validation cohort; 40%-43% women per cohort) had a mean (SD) baseline serum creatinine level of 1.0 (0.2) mg/dL and more than 20% had stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury. Advanced chronic kidney disease developed in 408 (2.7%) of 9973 patients in the derivation cohort and 62 (2.2%) of 2761 patients in the external validation cohort. In the derivation cohort, 6 variables were independently associated with the outcome: older age, female sex, higher baseline serum creatinine value, albuminuria, greater severity of acute kidney injury, and higher serum creatinine value at discharge. In the external validation cohort, a multivariable model including these 6 variables had a C statistic of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.75-0.86) and improved discrimination and reclassification compared with reduced models that included age, sex, and discharge serum creatinine value alone (integrated discrimination improvement, 2.6%; 95% CI, 1.1%-4.0%; categorical net reclassification index, 13.5%; 95% CI, 1.9%-25.1%) or included age, sex, and acute kidney injury stage alone (integrated discrimination improvement, 8.0%; 95% CI, 5.1%-11.0%; categorical net reclassification index, 79.9%; 95% CI, 60.9%-98.9%).Conclusions and relevanceA multivariable model using routine laboratory data was able to predict advanced chronic kidney disease following hospitalization with acute kidney injury. The utility of this model in clinical care requires further research.

Project description:Background and objectivesIn light of the growing burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD), it is of particular importance to create disease prediction models that can assist healthcare providers in identifying cases of CKD individual risk and integrate risk-based care for disease progress management. The objective of this study was to develop and validate a new pragmatic end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) risk prediction utilizing the Cox proportional hazards model (Cox) and machine learning (ML).Design, setting, participants, and measurementsThe Chinese Cohort Study of Chronic Kidney Disease (C-STRIDE), a multicenter CKD cohort in China, was employed as the model's training and testing datasets, with a split ratio of 7:3. A cohort from Peking University First Hospital (PKUFH cohort) served as the external validation dataset. The participants' laboratory tests in those cohorts were conducted at PKUFH. We included individuals with CKD stages 1~4 at baseline. The incidence of kidney replacement therapy (KRT) was defined as the outcome. We constructed the Peking University-CKD (PKU-CKD) risk prediction model employing the Cox and ML methods, which include extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) and survival support vector machine (SSVM). These models discriminate metrics by applying Harrell's concordance index (Harrell's C-index) and Uno's concordance (Uno's C). The calibration performance was measured by the Brier score and plots.ResultsOf the 3216 C-STRIDE and 342 PKUFH participants, 411 (12.8%) and 25 (7.3%) experienced KRT with mean follow-up periods of 4.45 and 3.37 years, respectively. The features included in the PKU-CKD model were age, gender, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR), albumin, hemoglobin, medical history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and hypertension. In the test dataset, the values of the Cox model for Harrell's C-index, Uno's C-index, and Brier score were 0.834, 0.833, and 0.065, respectively. The XGBoost algorithm values for these metrics were 0.826, 0.825, and 0.066, respectively. The SSVM model yielded values of 0.748, 0.747, and 0.070, respectively, for the above parameters. The comparative analysis revealed no significant difference between XGBoost and Cox, in terms of Harrell's C, Uno's C, and the Brier score (p = 0.186, 0.213, and 0.41, respectively) in the test dataset. The SSVM model was significantly inferior to the previous two models (p < 0.001), in terms of discrimination and calibration. The validation dataset showed that XGBoost was superior to Cox, regarding Harrell's C, Uno's C, and the Brier score (p = 0.003, 0.027, and 0.032, respectively), while Cox and SSVM were almost identical concerning these three parameters (p = 0.102, 0.092, and 0.048, respectively).ConclusionsWe developed and validated a new ESKD risk prediction model for patients with CKD, employing commonly measured indicators in clinical practice, and its overall performance was satisfactory. The conventional Cox regression and certain ML models exhibited equal accuracy in predicting the course of CKD.
