Mortality risk for kidney transplant candidates with diabetes: a population cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

It is unclear whether kidney transplant candidates with diabetes have equitable transplantation opportunities or have divergent survival probabilities stratified by kidney replacement therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate these two issues using national transplant registry data in the UK.

Methods

A cohort study was undertaken of prospectively collected registry data of all wait-listed people with kidney failure receiving dialysis in the UK. All people listed for their first kidney-alone transplant between 2000 and 2019 were included. Stratification was done for cause of kidney failure. Primary outcome was all-cause mortality. Time-to-death from listing was analysed using adjusted non-proportional hazard Cox regression models, with transplantation
