Kidney transplantation following cardiocirculatory death: a review of the clinical evidence and guidelines
CADTH
Record ID 32014000865
English
Authors' recommendations:
The evidence suggests that medium-term patient and graft survival are similar between groups receiving kidney transplants from donations following cardiocirculatory death and from donations following brain death, despite a higher incidence of delayed graft function following donation after cardiocirculatory death. These findings should be viewed with caution given the study limitations including the retrospective observational study design, residual confounding, limited sample size and lack of statistical power to detect differences between groups.
