The purpose of this study was to identify the follow-up status of living kidney donors after transplantation.
This study was a secondary analysis of the medical record data from one hospital in Korea. Eighty-one donors from February 2010 to April 2016 were selected for analysis of follow-up status. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Kaplan-Meier estimator, and Cox regression.
Overall, 48.4% of donors continued to participate in follow-up visits. Donor follow-up rates at 1, 2, and 3 years were 75.1%, 58.2%, and 48.4%, respectively. Significant predictors of follow-up loss among donors were smoking habit and the type of follow-up health care provider.
For management of the physical and psychological health of donors, continuous care by the nephrologist and surgeon is required following transplantation.
本研究的目的是确定活体肾供体移植后的随访状况。
本研究是对韩国一家医院的病历数据进行的二次分析。选取2010年2月至2016年4月期间的81名供体进行随访状况分析。使用描述性统计、Kaplan-Meier估计量和Cox回归对数据进行分析。
总体而言，48.4%的供体继续参与随访。供体在1年、2年和3年时的随访率分别为75.1%、58.2%和48.4%。供体随访丢失的显著预测因素是吸烟习惯和随访医疗服务提供者的类型。
为了管理供体的身心健康，移植后需要肾病学家和外科医生进行持续护理。
