SMSonnie E. MayewskiZYZhe YangMKMichael O. Killian

Key Points

  • To explore the relationship between mental health, medication nonadherence, and healthcare utilization in pediatric solid organ transplant recipients.
  • Multistate cohort study design
  • Assessment of mental health conditions
  • Evaluation of medication adherence levels
  • Analysis of acute care utilization patterns
  • Higher mental health issues correlated with increased healthcare utilization
  • Properly addressing adherence could reduce unnecessary hospitalizations
  • Integrating psychosocial support may improve long-term outcomes for transplant recipients

Abstract

Mental health conditions and medication nonadherence are common and independently associated with higher acute care utilization among pediatric SOT recipients. Integrating standardized psychosocial assessment and adherence interventions into routine post-transplant care may help mitigate preventable hospitalizations and improve long-term outcomes.
