Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated how perioperative management affects early kidney graft function in pediatric patients who received living donor kidney transplants.
  • Data was collected from two pediatric centers in New South Wales, Australia, analyzing early graft function through estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at 7 days and 1 month post-transplant.
  • Despite managing fluid levels and blood pressure during and after surgery, the findings revealed that these factors did not significantly influence early graft function in the analyzed patients.

Background: Pediatric liver transplantation is a very resource-intensive therapy. This study aimed to identify the changes made between two epochs of management and analyze their influence on length of stay (LOS).

Methods: Data from a single center were obtained from the liver transplant and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) databases for 336 transplants (282 children) performed between 2000 and 2021.

Aim: Uterus transplantation (UTx) is an emerging treatment option for women with uterine factor infertility (UFI) or the absence of a functional uterus. This is the study protocol for the first human UTx clinical trial in Australia.

Materials And Methods: This protocol outlines the approved training program used to plan, diagnose, screen, and treat patients who may be eligible for UTx using living and deceased donors.

Background: Biovigilance concerns are in tension with the need to increase organ donation. Cancer transmission risk from donor to recipient may be overestimated, as non-transmission events are rarely reported. We sought to estimate melanoma transmission risk in deceased organ donation and identify missed opportunities for donation in an Australian cohort with high melanoma prevalence.
