Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a complex condition arising from various factors including immunosuppressive medications, insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion and inflammatory processes. Its impact on patient and graft survival is a significant concern in kidney transplant recipients. PTDM's impact on kidney transplant recipients, including patient and graft survival and cardiovascular mortality, is a significant concern, given conflicting findings in previous studies. This meta-analysis was imperative not only to incorporate emerging evidence but also to delve into cause-specific mortality considerations. We aimed to comprehensively evaluate the association between PTDM and clinical outcomes, including all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, sepsis-related mortality, malignancy-related mortality and graft loss, in kidney transplant recipients.
PubMed, Ovid/Medline, Web of Science, Scopus and Cochrane Library databases were screened and studies evaluating the effect of PTDM on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, sepsis-related mortality, malignancy-related mortality and overall graft loss in adult kidney transplant recipients were included.
Fifty-three studies, encompassing a total of 138 917 patients, evaluating the association between PTDM and clinical outcomes were included. Our analysis revealed a significant increase in all-cause mortality [risk ratio (RR) 1.70, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.53 to 1.89, P < .001] and cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.86, 95% CI 1.36 to 2.54, P < .001) among individuals with PTDM. Moreover, PTDM was associated with a higher risk of sepsis-related mortality (RR 1.96, 95% CI 1.51 to 2.54, P < .001) but showed no significant association with malignancy-related mortality (RR 1.20, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.88). Additionally, PTDM was linked to an increased risk of overall graft failure (RR 1.33, 95% CI 1.16 to 1.54, P < .001).
These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive management strategies and the need for research targeting PTDM to improve outcomes in kidney transplant recipients.
移植后糖尿病(PTDM)是一种由多种因素引起的复杂病症,这些因素包括免疫抑制药物、胰岛素抵抗、胰岛素分泌受损以及炎症过程。其对患者和移植物存活的影响是肾移植受者的一个重大关切问题。鉴于先前研究结果相互矛盾,PTDM对肾移植受者的影响,包括患者和移植物存活以及心血管死亡率,是一个重大关切问题。这项荟萃分析不仅势在必行,要纳入新出现的证据,而且要深入探讨特定病因的死亡率考量。我们旨在全面评估肾移植受者中PTDM与临床结局之间的关联,包括全因死亡率、心血管死亡率、脓毒症相关死亡率、恶性肿瘤相关死亡率和移植物丢失。
对PubMed、Ovid/Medline、科学引文索引、Scopus和Cochrane图书馆数据库进行筛选,纳入评估PTDM对成年肾移植受者全因死亡率、心血管死亡率、脓毒症相关死亡率、恶性肿瘤相关死亡率和总体移植物丢失影响的研究。
纳入了53项研究,共涉及138917名患者,评估PTDM与临床结局之间的关联。我们的分析显示,PTDM患者的全因死亡率[风险比(RR)1.70,95%置信区间(CI)1.53至1.89,P <.001]和心血管死亡率(RR 1.86,95%CI 1.36至2.54,P <.001)显著增加。此外,PTDM与脓毒症相关死亡率较高风险相关(RR 1.96,95%CI 1.51至2.54,P <.001),但与恶性肿瘤相关死亡率无显著关联(RR 1.20,95%CI 0.76至1.88)。此外,PTDM与总体移植物失败风险增加相关(RR 1.33,95%CI 1.16至1.54,P <.001)。
这些发现强调了综合管理策略的重要性以及针对PTDM进行研究以改善肾移植受者结局的必要性。
