Implication

Case-control study identifies severe lymphopenia as a key risk factor for pneumonia in kidney transplant recipients, suggesting improved preventive strategies.

Key Points

This study aims to identify risk factors for Pneumocystis pneumonia in kidney transplant recipients.
Retrospective case-control study with matched controls (1 case per 2 controls)
Conducted from May 2014 to May 2024 at a single center
Statistical analysis using conditional logistic regression models
37 kidney transplant recipients with PJP were included; 74 matched controls were analyzed.
Mean outpatient visits in cases was 11.11 compared to 8.89 in controls (p=0.04).
Severe lymphopenia (<0.5 G/L) was the most significant risk factor for PJP development.
