Objectives: The Starzl Network for Excellence in Pediatric Transplantation identified optimizing immunosuppression (IS) as a priority practice improvement area for patients, families, and providers. We aimed to evaluate associations between clinical characteristics, early IS, and outcomes.
Methods: We analyzed pediatric liver transplant (LT) data from 2013 to 2018 in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) and the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation (SPLIT) registries.
Article Synopsis
- Parents of kids who had liver transplants (LT) feel it's hard to balance the right amount of medicine to help their child's new liver without causing other problems.
- Most parents worry more about the side effects of the medicine than about the liver being rejected.
- It's important to listen to what parents think and feel about the medicine their child takes so doctors can help them make the best decisions for their health.
