Pediatric Kidney Transplant Outcomes After Kidney Donor Profile Index‐Based Organ Prioritization

Key Points

Lower graft failure risk is linked with KDPI-based prioritization compared to donor age-based methods, enhancing outcomes.
Using donor risk scores can improve graft survival rates in pediatric kidney transplantation.
The adoption of KDPI for organ prioritization offers significant benefits in managing donor organs for children.
Refining donor risk assessments could yield further enhancements in kidney transplant success rates, with implications for organ allocation.

Abstract

KDPI-based prioritization of kidneys for pediatric allocation was associated with a lower risk of graft failure compared to donor age-based prioritization. Further refining donor risk scores may enable additional improvements in graft survival.
