biostudies-literatureUnknown12(7)Dutch Kidney FoundationBackground: Little is known about the influence of the duration of the kidney back-table preparation period and kidney temperature on graft outcomes after transplantation. The aim of this study is to investigate the back-table duration and its relation to graft outcome and the relation between kidney temperature and graft outcome. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, deceased donor kidney temperature is measured at fixed time points using an infrared thermometer during back-table preparation and transplantation. Additionally, the back-table duration is measured using a timer. Results: Between September 2020 and July 2021, 49 kidneys were prospectively included in this study. Median back-table duration was 33.7 (standard deviation ± 14.1) min and donor kidney temperature increased up Journal of clinical medicinehttps://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10094751biostudies-literatureThe Effect of Recipient Back-Table Duration on Graft Outcome of Deceased Donor Kidneys: A Single-Center Prospective Cohort StudyPMC1009475120OSR005falseThe Effect of Recipient Back-Table Duration on Graft Outcome of Deceased Donor Kidneys: A Single-Center Prospective Cohort StudyBackground: Little is known about the influence of the duration of the kidney back-table preparation period and kidney temperature on graft outcomes after transplantation.
