Living related and living unrelated kidney transplantations: A systematic review and meta-analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
AIM To compare the outcomes between related and unrelated kidney transplantations. METHODS Literature searches were performed following the Cochrane guidelines. We conducted a systematic review and a meta-analysis, which included 12 trials that investigated outcomes including the long-term (ten years), mid-term (one to five years), and short-term (one year) graft survival rate as well as the acute rejection rate. Meta-analyses were performed using fixed and random-effects models, which included tests for publication bias and heterogeneity. RESULTS No difference in graft survival rate was detected in patients who underwent living related kidney transplantations compared to unrelated (P = 0.44) transplantations after ten years. There were no significant differences between the graft survival rate in living related and unrelated kidney transplantations after a short- and mid-term follow-up (P = 0.35, P = 0.46). There were no significant differences between the acute rejection rate in living related and unrelated kidney transplantations (P = 0.06). CONCLUSION The long, mid and short term follow-up of living related and unrelated kidney transplantation showed no significant difference in graft survival rate. Also, acute rejection rate was not significantly different between groups.
