Although overall donation and transplantation activity is higher in Europe than on other
continents, differences between European countries in almost every aspect of …

In the face of a crisis in organ donation, the transplant community are increasingly utilizing
donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors. Over the last 10 years, with the increasing …

Background Therapeutic hypothermia in brain-dead organ donors has been shown to
reduce delayed graft function in kidney recipients after transplantation. Data are needed on …

The use of kidneys from controlled donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors has the
potential to markedly increase kidney transplants performed. However, this potential is not …

Background Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end‐stage kidney disease.
Retrieval, transport and transplant of kidney grafts causes ischaemia reperfusion injury. The …

Background. We propose a continuous kidney donor risk index (KDRI) for deceased donor
kidneys, combining donor and transplant variables to quantify graft failure risk. Methods. By …

Transplant physicians and candidates have become increasingly aware that donor
characteristics significantly impact liver transplantation outcomes. Although the qualitative …

The field of organ transplantation benefits from large, comprehensive, transplant-specific
national data sets available to researchers. In addition to the widely used Organ …

Background Delayed graft function, which is reported in up to 50% of kidney-transplant
recipients, is associated with increased costs and diminished long-term graft function. The …

Delayed graft function (DGF) impacts short‐and long‐term outcomes. We present a model
for predicting DGF after renal transplantation. A multivariable logistic regression analysis of …
