Kidney transplantation (KT) improves clinical outcomes of patients with end stage renal disease. Little has been reported on the impact of early post-operative surgical complications (SC) on long-term clinical outcomes following KT. We sought to determine the impact of vascular complications, urological complications, surgical site complications, and peri-graft collections within 30 days of transplantation on patient survival, graft function, and hospital readmissions.
We conducted a single-centre, observational cohort study examining adult patients (≥ 18 years) who received a kidney transplant from living and deceased donors between January 1st, 2005 and December 31st, 2015 with follow-up until December 31, 2016 (n = 1,334). Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed with Cox proportional hazards models to analyze the outcomes of SC in the early post-operative period after KT.
The cumulative probability of SC within 30 days of transplant was 25%, the most common SC being peri-graft collections (66.8%). Multivariable analyses showed significant relationships between Clavien Grade 1 SC and death with graft function (HR 1.78 [95% CI: 1.11, 2.86]), and between Clavien Grades 3 to 4 and hospital readmissions (HR 1.95 [95% CI: 1.37, 2.77]).
Early SC following KT are common and have a significant influence on long-term patient outcomes.
肾移植(KT)改善了终末期肾病患者的临床结果。术后早期手术并发症(SC)对 KT 后长期临床结果的影响报道甚少。我们旨在确定移植后 30 天内血管并发症、尿路上皮并发症、手术部位并发症和移植周围积液对患者生存、移植物功能和住院再入院的影响。
我们进行了一项单中心观察性队列研究,纳入了 2005 年 1 月 1 日至 2015 年 12 月 31 日期间接受活体和已故供体肾移植的成年患者(≥18 岁),随访至 2016 年 12 月 31 日(n=1334)。采用 Cox 比例风险模型进行单变量和多变量分析,以分析 KT 后早期术后 SC 的结果。
移植后 30 天内 SC 的累积概率为 25%,最常见的 SC 是移植周围积液(66.8%)。多变量分析显示,Clavien 1 级 SC 与移植物功能丧失相关的死亡(HR 1.78[95%CI:1.11,2.86])和 Clavien 3 至 4 级 SC 与住院再入院(HR 1.95[95%CI:1.37,2.77])之间存在显著关系。
KT 后早期 SC 很常见,对长期患者结局有重大影响。
