Abstract
Improved outcomes have been associated with various methods of size matching between expanded criteria (ECD) donors and recipients. A novel method for improved functional based matching was developed utilizing manipulation of Cockcroft-Gault estimated creatinine clearances for donor and recipient. We hypothesized that optimal clearance-based matches would have superior outcomes for both immediate graft function and long-term graft survival. For the analysis, recipients of ECD kidneys in the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) transplanted between October 1, 1987 and August 31, 2011 were included. Univariate and multivariate analyses predicted the hazard ratio of graft failure and the odds ratio of requiring dialysis within the first week. A total of 25,640 ECD kidney transplants were analyzed. On multivariate analysis, higher creatinine clearance match ratio (CCMR) was associated with increased graft failure and odds of requiring dialysis within the first week (comparing highest ratio quintile versus lowest ratio quintile: HR 1.43, p < 0.001; OR 2.08, p < 0.001). This study suggests that ECD kidneys have improved outcomes when the recipient/donor CCMR is optimized.
