Unlabelled: Transplantation of hepatitis C viremic (HCV+) deceased donor kidney transplants (DDKT) into aviremic (HCV-) recipients is a strategy to increase organ utilization. However, there are concerns around inferior recipient outcomes due to delayed initiation of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy and sustained HCV replication when implemented outside of a research setting.
Methods: This was a retrospective single-center matched cohort study of DDKT recipients of HCV+ donors (cases) who were matched 1:1 to recipients of HCV- donors (comparators) by age, gender, race, presence of diabetes, kidney donor profile index, and calculated panel-reactive antibody.
Objective: The aim of this study was to formatively evaluate a health communication campaign on body image targeting undergraduate female students.
Participants: A total of 331 students at a large public Midwestern university participated in the study.
Methods: Researchers used central intercept procedures to recruit students from residence halls.
