Comparison of in situ preservation techniques for kidneys from donors after circulatory death: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Several techniques have been developed to reduce the warm ischaemic injury of donation after circulatory death (DCD) organs before procurement. There are scarce data about the in situ preservation techniques for kidney graft outcomes. The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the best in situ preservation method for kidney graft outcomes from organs obtained from controlled and uncontrolled DCD.

Methods

A systematic review of the PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, LILACS and Cochrane databases was conducted. Studies that compare two or more in situ preservation techniques were identified and included. Only studies which provided enough data to calculate odds ratio were eligible for meta-analysis. PROSPERO registration: CRD42020179598.
