Filter by:The thundering evolution of lung transplantation management during the past ten years and primary graft dysfunction (PGD) new definition have led to new predictive factors of PGD. Therefore, we retrospectively analyzed a monocentric database using a machine-learning method, to determine the predictive factors of grade 3 PGD (PGD3), defined as a PaO2/FiO2 ratio < 200 or being under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) at postoperative day 3. We included all double lung transplantation from 2012 to 2019 and excluded multi-organ transplant, cardiopulmonary bypass, or repeated transplantation during the study period for the same patient. Recipient, donor and intraoperative data were added in a gradient boosting algorithm step-by-step according to standard transplantation stages. Dataset will be split randomly as 80% training set and 20% testing set. Relationship between predictive factors and PGD3 will be represented as ShHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) values.
The objective of this study is to determine whether cell-free DNA (cf-DNA) measurement can be used as a biomarker for successful treatment of an acute rejection (AR) episode after kidney transplantation. A fall in donor cf-DNA level may be a biomarker for successful AR treatment. The goal is to do an exploratory study to determine, in recipients with biopsy-proven AR, whether persistence or elevated levels of donor cf-DNA are associated with ongoing inflammation at the time of exit biopsy; and whether fall in donor cf-DNA level is associated with successful AR treatment. Measurement of cf-DNA has recently been started for kidney transplant recipients. There will be two groups of patients eligible for this study: 1. those who have had sequential measurement of cf-DNA prior to graft dysfunction leading to a biopsy, and 2. those who have not had previous measurement of cf-DNA
There are currently no clear recommendations on hemodynamic targets during kidney transplantation and most anesthesiologists rely on empiric or obsolete parameters such as CVP. The aim of this study is to investigate hemodynamic management of these patients applying a new generation of advanced monitoring systems such as MOSTCAREUP which can potentially provide a clear overview of the circulatory status beat by beat and to adjust fluid therapy in every single patient or clinical condition.
Use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) is quite common among renal transplant recipients and reduced kidney functions and hypomagnesemia with the use of PPIs have been reported. In this study, investigation of the effects of PPI use on the outcome of kidney transplant recipients is aimed.
