ReSKiTE – Relative Survival from cancer in Kidney Transplant recipients and people with End-stage kidney disease in Australia and New Zealand

Relative survival provides a more reliable measure of excess mortality for people diagnosed with cancer. In the general population with cancer, the relative survival has increased to 68% in 2009-13 but estimates for the kidney failure and kidney transplant population with cancer are unknown. ReSKiTE… Read More »ReSKiTE – Relative Survival from cancer in Kidney Transplant recipients and people with End-stage kidney disease in Australia and New Zealand

Notifiable Infectious Diseases Among Organ Transplant Recipients: A Data-Linked Cohort Study, 2000–2015
