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

After organ transplantation, infections, including common communicable infections such as influenza, frequently cause disease, although the actual amount of infection and disease is unclear. We aimed to measure the burden of notifiable infectious diseases in an Australian cohort of transplant recipients compared with the general… Read More »Notifiable Infectious Diseases Among Organ Transplant Recipients: A Data-Linked Cohort Study, 2000–2015

Potential organ donors with primary brain tumours: missed opportunities for donation and transplantation identified in Australian cohort study 2010–2015

Potential organ donors with primary brain tumours (PBT) frequently donate, however some may be declined due to uncertainty about tumour classification or transmission risk to transplant recipients. We sought to describe transmission risk and donation outcome of potential donors with PBT, including identifying missed opportunities… Read More »Potential organ donors with primary brain tumours: missed opportunities for donation and transplantation identified in Australian cohort study 2010–2015

Cardiac Mortality in Kidney Transplant Patients: A Population-based Cohort Study 1988–2013 in Australia and New Zealand

The aims of our study were to: (1) identify risk factors for circulatory death in kidney transplant recipients; (2) compare cardiac mortality in kidney transplant recipients and the general population; and (3) compare cardiac mortality in women and men post kidney transplant.

Cause of death for people with end-stage kidney disease withdrawing from treatment in Australia and New Zealand

Our study objective was to estimate treatment withdrawal death rates within the Australian and New Zealand ESKD population, as well as to compare the underlying cause of death between the national death register and the Australian and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA). Find… Read More »Cause of death for people with end-stage kidney disease withdrawing from treatment in Australia and New Zealand

Patient and kidney transplant survival in type 1 diabetics after kidney transplant alone compared to simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant

We aimed to determine any benefits of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant compared to kidney transplant alone from a deceased donor (D-KTA) or from a living donor (L-KTA)in people with ESKD and T1DM in Australia and New Zealand.

Epidemiology of cardiovascular death in kidney failure: An Australian and New Zealand cohort study using data linkage

Our study objective was to describe the epidemiology of cardiovascular death (specifically cardiac and peripheral vascular deaths excluding stroke) across the lifespan of KF. In particular, we aimed to understand the effects of multimorbidity and KRT modality on cardiovascular mortality rates. We further aimed to… Read More »Epidemiology of cardiovascular death in kidney failure: An Australian and New Zealand cohort study using data linkage

Sex differences in mortality among binational cohort of people with chronic kidney disease: population based data linkage study

Our study aimed to evaluate sex differences in mortality in the Australian and New Zealand population with kidney failure by using relative measures of survival to account for expected background mortality in the general population. We hypothesised that people with kidney failure would have greater… Read More »Sex differences in mortality among binational cohort of people with chronic kidney disease: population based data linkage study

Prevalence of anal cytological abnormalities and high-risk human papillomavirus prevalence in kidney transplant recipients: A cross-sectional study

We have conducted a cross-sectional study at a large transplant center in Australia to assess the feasibility of screening for anal cancer in kidney transplant recipients.

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

A cohort study was performed among all solid organ recipients in NSW, Australia, transplanted from 2000 to 2015. This was used to estimate the burden of notifiable infectious diseases compared to the general population.
