Association of Cardiopulmonary Hemodynamics and Outcomes in Pulmonary Hypertension Following Kidney Transplantation: A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) frequently complicates the evaluation of kidney transplantation (KT) candidates, and is associated with increased adverse outcomes (mortality, delayed graft function [DGF], and major adverse cardiovascular event) following KT.

Research question

What is the relationship between cardiopulmonary hemodynamics and post-KT outcomes?

Study design and methods

We conducted a multicenter retrospective cohort study of adults undergoing KT between October 1, 2011 and October 1, 2021, who underwent right heart catheterization (RHC) to assess cardiopulmonary hemodynamics within 1 year of transplantation. Frailty models and logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between cardiopulmonary hemodynamics and outcomes (mortal
