A PROPOSAL FOR THE ANALYSIS OF KIDNEY GRAFT SURVIVAL
A survival analysis using a model provides numerous advantages over other approaches. The effectiveness of concomitant variables in describing the data can be evaluated whether the variables are continuous or dichotomized. We can evaluate the effectiveness of such variables in describing either short- or long-term components of the risk.

Background Ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is an inevitable process in renal transplantation, which is closely related to serious postoperative complications such as delayed graft function (DGF), acute rejection and graft failure.

Long‐term kidney transplant graft survival—Making progress when most needed
Current short‐term kidney post–transplant survival rates are excellent, but longer‐term outcomes have historically been unchanged. This study used data from the national Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) and evaluated 1‐year and 5‐year ...

Cause and timing of first allograft failure in orthotopic liver transplantation: A study of 177 consecutive patients [PDF]
The cause and timing of first liver allograft failure was evaluated in 177 patients who underwent a second liver transplant between January 1984 and December 1988.

Preimplantation biopsy predicts delayed graft function, glomerular filtration rate and long-term graft survival of transplanted kidneys [PDF]
Background The predictive value of preimplantation biopsies for long-term graft function is often limited by conflicting results. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of time-zero graft biopsy histological scores on early and late graft ...

The use of FK-506 for small intestine llotransplantation: Inhibition of acute rejection and prevention of fatal graft-versus-host disease [PDF]
Small intestine allotransplantation in humans is not yet feasible due to the failure of the current methods of immunosuppression. FK-506, a powerful new immunosuppressive agent that is synergistic with cyclosporine, allows long-term survival of ...

"Suboptimal" kidney donors: The experience with tacrolimus-based immunosuppression [PDF]
Female, pediatric, and older donors have been associated with inferior graft survival after renal transplantation. We analyzed these three subgroups in 397 patients receiving tacrolimus-based immunosuppression. There were no differences in recipient age,

Our previous study proved that nanofat could enhance fat graft survival by promoting neovascularization. Fat extract (FE), a cell-free component derived from nanofat, also possesses proangiogenic activity. The aim of this study was to investigate whether
