Temporal trends in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in Argentina between 2009 and 2018: A collaborative study by GATMO-TC and INCUCAI.

Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for many disorders and international data shows a growing trend.

Method: We aimed to evaluate the temporal trends in HSCT transplant rates in Argentina. A time-series analysis was performed for the period 2009 to 2018 using the national database from the National Central Coordinating Institute for Ablations and Implants.

Reduced survival in patients who return to dialysis after kidney allograft failure.

Background: The outcome of patients who return to dialysis after Kidney allograft failure (KAF) remains unclear. Our aim was to compare the outcome of KAF patients vs two different types of transplant naive incident dialysis (TNID) patients, those on the waiting list (WL) and those with a kidney transplant contraindication (KTC).

Methods: We performed an observational study using data from the Argentinian Dialysis Registry between 2005 and 2016.

Validation of the Kidney Donor Profile Index in Argentina.

Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI), derived from donor characteristics, was developed in the United States in an effort to devise an objective means of assessing donor organ suitability based on predicted graft survival. The objective of this study is to analyze the utility of KDPI to predict renal graft survival in Argentina. We conducted a retrospective national cohort study of adult patients who received a deceased donor renal transplantation in Argentina between January 2008 and December 2017.

Liver transplantation in adults with acute liver failure: Outcomes from the Argentinean Transplant Registry.

Introduction And Aim: Liver transplantation (LT) for acute liver failure (ALF) still has a high early mortality. We aimed to evaluate changes occurring in recent years and identify risk factors for poor outcomes.

Material And Methods: Data were retrospectively obtained from the Argentinean Transplant Registry from two time periods (1998-2005 and 2006-2016).

Results after the adoption of a MELD/PELD-based liver allocation policy in Argentina.

In July 2005, Argentina switched from a categorical liver allocation system to a MELD/PELD-based policy for patients with CLD. To analyze WL outcomes and survival after LT in children. From January 2000 to December 2010, 923 children were registered.

Improved waiting-list outcomes in Argentina after the adoption of a model for end-stage liver disease-based liver allocation policy.

In July 2005, Argentina became the first country after the United States to introduce the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) for organ allocation. In this study, we investigated waiting-list (WL) outcomes (n = 3272) and post-liver transplantation (LT) survival in 2 consecutive periods of 5 years before and after the implementation of a MELD-based allocation policy. Data were obtained from the database of the national institute for organ allocation in Argentina.
