Pretransplant Cognitive Function and Kidney Transplant Outcomes: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background & hypothesis

Cognitive impairment is common in patients being evaluated for a kidney transplant (KT). The association between pretransplant cognitive function and posttransplant outcomes is unclear.

Study design

We performed a prospective cohort study to assess the association between pretransplant cognitive function and clinically relevant posttransplant outcomes.

Setting and population

In this single center study, participants from the transplant clinic were evaluated during their pretransplant clinic visits and followed prospectively.

Outcomes

Our primary outcome measure was allograft function. Secondary outcomes were length of hospitalization for KT, hospital readmission within 30 and 90 days, graft loss, graft rejection within 90 days and 1 year
