The epidemiology of early deep vein thrombosis in kidney transplant recipients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Because kidney transplant recipients may be at increased risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) following transplantation, we investigated the incidence, risk factors, treatments and outcomes of early DVT among kidney transplant recipients.

Methods

An observational, single-centre cohort study was conducted among adult kidney transplant recipients from Jan. 1, 2005, to Dec. 31, 2016 with 1-year followup. Time to DVT was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Cox proportional hazards and linear regression models were used to analyze risk factors for and outcomes of DVT.

Results

The cumulative incidence of DVT was 4.25% at 3 months after transplant. In multivariable analysis, the use of depleting induction agents (hazard ratio [HR] 2.13, 95% confidence interval
