Association between the age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index and complications after kidney transplantation: a retrospective observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Complications following kidney transplantation elevate the risks of readmission and mortality. The aim of this study was to assess the association between the age-adjusted Charlson Comorbidity Index (ACCI) and postoperative complications among kidney transplant (KT) recipients.
