Delayed Graft Function After Simultaneous Heart-Kidney Transplantation Across Heart Allocation Eras: Predictors and Impact on Kidney Graft Survival in a National Cohort.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This national study looked at people who received a heart and a kidney in the same operation. It asked what makes the new kidney slow to start working, called delayed graft function, and whether that shortens how long the kidney lasts. It also compared results before and after the rules for handing out donor hearts changed. It is observational, so it shows links, not cause, and the abstract with the numbers was not available here.
