Order of Deceased Donor and Living Donor Kidney Transplantation in Pediatric Recipients
Enter Patient/Donor Characteristics
patient age: 11, patient gender: F, patient ethnicity: caucasian, patient months on dialysis: 0, patient previous transplant: no, patient etiology of renal disease: other, patient ABO: A, patient PRA: 0-5%, donor age: 33, donor gender: F, donor ethnicity: caucasian, HLA mismatches: 0, donor history of smoking: no, estimated regional waiting time to deceased donor transplant (as child): 6 months, (as adult): 36 months.65.5% of 1000 simulated patients with these characteristics survive to 20 years after their decision to wait for a primary deceased donor transplant.
This model is intended to compare, for a given pediatric patient with only one living donor available, long-term patient survival after 1) living donor kidney transplantation followed if necessary by deceased donor retransplantation versus 2) deceased donor kidney transplantation followed if necessary by living donor (if donor is still able to donate) or deceased donor (if not) retransplantation. The model accounts for waitlist, graft, and patient survival, sensitization, the increased risk of graft failure seen during late adolescence, differential deceased donor waiting times based upon pediatric-priority allocation policies, and aging or disease development leading to ineligibility of the living donor over time.
