What Donation Features are Related to Complications in Donation after Circulatory Death Kidney Transplant? Analysis of Risk Factors for Complication after Circulatory Death Kidney Transplant.

Objective: Complications in donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidney transplants (KT) are barely described, while in some urological complications the cause is unknown. The aim of this study is to describe surgical and urological complications and analyze what donation features could be involved.

Methods: A prospective, single center study was performed from 2016 to 2019 including all KT from controlled cardiac death donors (cDCD).

Effect of Ischemia Times and Donor and Recipient Features on Maastricht Category III Kidney Transplant Outcomes.

Objective: Expansion of the donor pool has been enabled by the use of donation after circulatory death (DCD). The aim of this study is to identify what donation features are able to predict kidney transplant (KT) outcomes from DCD.

Materials And Methods: A prospective analysis of all DCD KT from June 2016 to November 2019 was conducted.

A prioritization score for elective urological surgery during the COVID-19 pandemic: The Medically Necessary Time-Sensitive (MeNTS) score system.

Purpose: The COVID19 pandemic has caused a redistribution of hospital resources. Prioritization strategies are needed in order to organize elective surgeries. We compared the new Medically Necessary Time-Sensitive score (MeNTS) and its factors (disease, procedure, and patient factors) between operated and deferred cases, and also to a subjective priority scale in the Urology department.
