Early echocardiographic changes and survival following renal transplantation.
BACKGROUND Left ventricular hypertrophy, ventricular dilatation and poor systolic function prior to renal transplantation are associated with increased mortality. However, whether the improvement in these echocardiographic indices that is reported to follow renal transplantation improves patient survival has not been investigated. METHODS We studied 67 patients who underwent renal transplanta...
متن کاملImpact of diabetes mellitus on survival rates after heart transplantation.
AIMS Heart transplantation (HTx) is the most effective therapy in patients with end-stage heart failure. Diabetes-related complications are relative contraindications for heart transplantation. The aim of our study was to analyse the impact of DM (diabetes mellitus) at the time of heart transplantation and new-onset post-transplantation DM on long-term survival. METHODS A retrospective databa...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness of pediatric heart transplantation across a positive crossmatch for high waitlist urgency candidates.
Allosensitized children listed with a requirement for a negative prospective crossmatch have high mortality. Previously, we found that listing with the intent to accept the first suitable organ offer, regardless of the possibility of a positive crossmatch (TAKE strategy), results in a survival advantage from the time of listing compared to awaiting transplantation across a negative crossmatch (...
متن کاملTransplantation Persistent Racial Disparities in Survival After Heart Transplantation
Background—Racial and ethnic disparities are well documented in many areas of health care, but have not been comprehensively evaluated among recipients of heart transplants. Methods and Results—We performed a retrospective cohort study of 39075 adult primary heart transplant recipients from 1987 to 2009 using national data from the United Network of Organ Sharing and compared mortality for nonw...
متن کاملSurvival impact of lung transplantation for COPD.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the primary indication for lung transplantation (LTx), but survival benefit is still under debate. We analysed the survival impact of LTx in COPD with a new approach, using the BODE (body mass index, airway obstruction, dyspnoea, exercise capacity) index. We retrospectively reviewed 54 consecutive lung transplants performed for COPD. The pre-trans...
