A Single-Center, Retrospective Comparison of Non-Pre-emptive with Pre-emptive Renal Transplantations.

ABSTRACT: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) requires renal replacement therapy, either through pre-emptive transplantation (PET) or non-pre-emptive transplantation (non-PET). PET is associated with improved patient and allograft survival compared to non-PET; however, only 2.5% of patients in the United States undergo PET. The authors of this study report on mortality and allograft rejection rates in patients undergoing PET versus non-PET. This single-center, retrospective study compared posttransplant complications between PET and non-PET in adults with ESRD. De-identified electronic health record data from 2017 to 2022 were analyzed. Odds ratios (ORs) for one-year post-transplant mortality and allograft rejection were calculated using unadjusted multivariate logistic regression (Model 1), adjusted for
