PG - e14411 LID - 10.1111/petr.14411 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Kidney transplantation (KT) is the best therapy in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), however, improving long-term graft survival remains challenging. The aim of this study was to determine graft survival and potential risk factors in pediatric patients who undergo deceased donor KT with a steroid-based regimen. METHODS: The medical records of children who underwent their first deceased donor KT in Srinagarind Hospital (Khon Kaen, Thailand) between 2001 and 2020 were reviewed. RESULTS: Seventy-two patients were studied. Male adolescents were the predominant recipients and the majority of donors were young adult males. Non-glomerular disease, particularly hypoplastic/dysplastic kidney disease, was the major cause of ESRD (48.61%). The mean cold ischemic time (CIT) was 18.29 +/- 5.29 h. Most of the recipients had more than 4 human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatched loci with positive HLA-DR mismatch (52.78%). Induction therapy was administered in 76.74% of recipients. Tacrolimus plus mycophenolate sodium and prednisolone was the most common immunosuppressive maintenance regimen (69.44%). Graft failure occurred in 18 patients, mostly due to graft rejection (50%). Graft survival at 1, 3, and 5 years after KT were 94.40%, 86.25%, and 74.92%, respectively. The only significant risk factor of graft failure in this study was delayed graft function (DGF) (adjusted HR = 3.55; 95%CI: 1.14, 11.12; p = .029). Patient survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was 100%, 98.48%, and 96.19%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The short-term outcomes of pediatric KT from deceased donors were satisfactory; however, prevention of DGF would result in better outcomes. CI - (c) 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
