Abstract

AYALA-GARCIA, Marco Antonio et al. Renal transplantation recipient patients survival. Gac. Méd. Méx [online]. 2020, vol.156, n.1, pp.34-39.  Epub May 26, 2021. ISSN 2696-1288.  https://doi.org/10.24875/gmm.19005434.

Introduction:

The Bajío High Specialty Regional Hospital started operating in 2007 to tackle the health demands of 5.8 million inhabitants. It has 184 beds and a transplant unit with 26 beds. In 2008, the renal transplant program launched activities.

Objective:

To describe the survival of kidney transplant receptor patients and of the grafted kidney at the Bajío High Specialty Regional Hospital.

Methods:

Retrospective cohort study, where consecutive transplants carried out between 2008 and 2016 were included. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method.

Results:

A total of 837 transplants were analyzed. Graft survival censored for death, with a functional graft at 1 and 5 years, was 94.6% and 78.9%. Patient survival at 1 and 5 years was 95.4% and 88.1%.

Conclusions:

The renal transplant program is one of the the best programs established in Mexico, both for the number of deceased-donor kidney transplants performed and for the patient and graft survival achieved. These data indicate that the renal transplant program has had a sustained development.
