[HTML][HTML] Impact of cold ischemia time on graft survival among ECD transplant recipients: a paired kidney analysis
LK Kayler, J Magliocca, I Zendejas, TR Srinivas… - American journal of …, 2011 - Elsevier
Delays in expanded criteria donor (ECD) kidney placement increases cold ischemia times
(CIT) potentially leading to discard. The effect of increased CIT on ECD kidney transplant
outcomes is unknown. We evaluated paired ECD kidneys (derived from the same donor
transplanted to different recipients) from the SRTR registry transplanted between 1995 and
2009 (n= 17 514). To test the effect of CIT, we excluded paired transplants with the same CIT
(n= 3286). Of 14 230 recipients (7115 donors) the median difference in CIT was 5 h (Q1= 3 …
