Risk factors for delayed graft function in patients with kidney transplantation: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Delayed graft function (DGF) continues to represent one of the most frequently encountered early complications following kidney transplantation. Despite notable progress in donor and recipient pretreatment protocols, diagnostic techniques and therapeutic approaches, the incidence of DGF, along with its associated short- and long-term sequelae, has not demonstrated a significant reduction. DGF is influenced by a multitude of factors, and individuals with exposure to these risk factors exhibit a markedly increased probability of developing DGF.

Objectives

To systematically identify and evaluate risk factors associated with DGF in kidney transplant recipients.

Design

A systematic review and meta-analysis DATA SOURCES: A comprehensive search was performed acros
