Organ donor management and delayed graft function in kidney transplant recipients: A multicenter retrospective cohort study
2019
: Meeting donor management goals (DMGs) has been reported to decrease the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) after kidney transplant, but whether this relationship is independent of cold machine perfusion is unclear. We aimed to determine whether meeting DMGs is associated with a reduced incidence of DGF, independent of the use of machine perfusion. We collected data on consecutive brain-dead donors and their KT recipients (KTRs) between June 2013 and December 2016 in 5 adult transplant centers. We evaluated whether DMGs were met at donor neurologic death (DND) and later time points. We defined a priori meeting optimal DMG as achieving ≥7 DMGs. Generalized estimating equations were used to predict DGF. Among 122 donors, 34% were extended-criteria donors (ECDs). The number of DMGs met increased over time (5.6 ± 1.4 at DND and 6.1 ± 1.3 at organ procurement [P < .001]). DGF occurred in 23% of 214 KTRs, and 55% received organs placed on machine perfusion. In multivariate analysis, ECD (odds ratio [OR] 2.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.13-4.45), use of machine perfusion (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.22-0.94), and optimal DMG at DND (OR 0.39, 95% CI 0.16-0.99) were associated with DGF. Early achievement of DMGs was associated with a reduced risk of the development of DGF, independent of the use of machine perfusion.
