Sex and gender as predictors for allograft and patient-relevant outcomes after kidney transplantation.
Cochrane Database Syst Rev
December 2024
Background: Sex, as a biological construct, and gender, defined as the cultural attitudes and behaviours attributed by society, may be associated with allograft loss, death, cancer, and rejection. Other factors, such as recipient age and donor sex, may modify the association between sex/gender and post-transplant outcomes.
Objectives: We sought to evaluate the prognostic effects of recipient sex and, separately, gender as independent predictors of graft loss, death, cancer, and allograft rejection following kidney or simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantation.
Background: Evidence states that persons with hemophilia are frequently affected by low bone mineral density (BMD). Data assessing the relationship between severity of hemophilia and occurrence of osteoporosis are lacking.
Objectives: This prospective cohort study aimed to assess the impact of hemophilia severity on BMD and to investigate trabecular bone score (TBS) and fracture risk (FRAX).
Developing real-world evidence from electronic health records (EHR) is vital to advancing kidney transplantation (KT). We assessed the feasibility of studying KT using the Epic Cosmos aggregated EHR data set, which includes 274 million unique individuals cared for in 238 US health systems, by comparing it with the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). We identified 69 418 KT recipients who underwent transplants between January 2014 and December 2022 in Cosmos (39.
