Projecting Long-Term Graft and Patient Survival after Transplantation

Determinants of Long-Term Graft and Patient Survival after Transplantation of Kidney and Liver

Long-term survival after cadaveric renal transplantation.

In a series of 404 consecutive first cadaver kidney transplants performed since 1967 the actuarial five- and 10-year survival of patients were 61% and 47% respectively and of grafts 46% and 36%. In more than four-fifths of the patients surviving these intervals the original cadaveric grafts were functioning at these times, and most of the remainder were sustained by subsequent grafts. Although ...

Predictors of Long-Term Survival after Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

Abstract Introduction: Survival after cardiac arrest is one of the most important issues related to the safety and quality of patient care, and unexpected events such as failure to follow guidelines can endanger the patient's safety. Objective: This study aimed to determine the long-term survival after cardiopulmonary resuscitation and its predictors in patients with cardiac arrest. Materi...

Re: Hyperlipidemia after kidney transplantation: long-term graft outcome.

Dear Editor, We read with interest the article by Raees-Jalali and colleagues1 recently published in the Iranian Journal of Kidney Diseases, titled “Hyperlipidemia after kidney transplantation: long-term graft outcome.” They evaluated the prevalence of hyperlipidemia and its relation with renal allograft function within 10 years of follow-up among 73 kidney transplant patients in a single cente...

Optimization of long-term graft survival after liver transplantation: the role of donor age

Background Nowadays, several solutions have been proposed for the minimization of both organ shortage and prolonged waiting times: the expansion of the donor pool using aged donors represents a possible solution [1]. However, it is not completely clear if the use of “extreme” donors could cause unacceptable post-transplant adjunctive risks [2]. Starting from these grounds, the aim of this study...
