Influence of donor gender in early outcome after lung transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the current practice of lung transplantation (LT), donor and recipient genders are neither directly considered nor matched. However, donor female gender has been suggested as a significant risk factor for mortality in recipients after solid organ transplantation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the early mortality (30 days) in LT recipients according to the donor gender (male or female).

30-day mortality, PGD, BOS and long-term survival. Although we aimed at constructing a homogeneous study group (adjusting for size and diagnosis), other confounding factors might have had an influence. These circumstances might have biased the results to some degree but not, in our opinion, to an extent that may invalidate the main conclusions drawn from the study. To summarize, this single-cen...

OBJECTIVES Gender differences between donors and recipients might have an effect on outcome after heart transplantation. Literature and registries reveal controversial results. We reviewed 1000 heart transplantations at our center focusing on the influence of gender differences on short- and long-term outcome after heart transplantation. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective anal...
متن کاملInfluence of donor-recipient gender mismatch on graft function and survival following lung transplantation.
OBJECTIVES In current practice, donors and recipients are not matched for gender in lung transplantation. However, some data have suggested a possible effect of gender combinations on lung transplant outcomes. We examined whether donor-recipient (D/R) gender mismatch is related to adverse outcomes after lung transplantation in terms of early and long-term graft function and survival. METHODS ...

Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is one of the main causes of delay graft function (DGF) in deceased-donor kidney transplantation (DDKT). Evidences suggest that hypertonic saline (HS) has beneficial effects on IRI. The objective of the present study is to determine the effect of intraoperative HS, on graft function and urinary biomarkers of interleukin 18 (IL-18) and neutrophil gelatinase-asso...
متن کاملLung donors selection criteria: a review.
Lung transplantation has had increasing success worldwide and it became an acceptable treatment modality in end-stage pulmonary diseases. The insufficient supply of donor lungs, resulting in prolonged waiting time, and the significant rise of patients on the waiting list, have forced the most experienced transplantation centers to redefine the acceptable lung donor criteria including marginal a...
