Outcomes post kidney transplantation amongst First Nations Australians in the Northern Territory.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

1)To compare graft and patient survival rates following deceased donor kidney transplantation in Northern Territory (NT) First Nations Australians between 2001-2011 and 2012-2021. 2)To compare transplant outcomes between First Nations and non-Indigenous Australians during 2012-2021. 3)To assess the impact of eplet mismatches and predicted indirectly recognizable HLA epitopes II (PIRCHE) scores on transplant outcomes in First Nations Australians.

Background

Despite advancements in transplant outcomes across Australia, uncertainty exists regarding improvements in graft and patient survival rates for NT First Nations Australians. No study has evaluated the impact of molecular matching on post-transplant outcomes for NT First Nations Australians.
