Invasive Candida infections in solid organ transplant recipients between 2008 and 2020 Open
Contemporary data on the epidemiology and outcomes of invasive candidiasis (IC) in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTr) are limited. This retrospective multicenter cohort study, nested within the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study, describe…

Age- and sex-specific reference values for CT-based low skeletal muscle quantity and quality in healthy living kidney donors Open
Background Computed tomography (CT) imaging is a useful tool for assessing skeletal muscle mass and quality. The present study aimed to determine age- and sex-specific reference values for CT-based skeletal muscle markers in a healthy popu…

Surgical Site Infections, Risk Factors, and Outcomes After Liver Transplant Open
Importance Surgical site infections (SSIs) are one of the most common health care–associated infections. Surgical site infections can have harmful effects in liver transplant (LT) recipients. Objective To assess the incidence of SSI after …

Pregnancy after kidney transplantation: an observational study on maternal, graft and offspring outcomes in view of current literature Open
Introduction Pregnancy after kidney transplantation (KTx) is considered to have a high risk of non-negligible complications for the mother, the allograft, and the offspring. With an increased incidence of these pregnancies over the past de…

Bacteremia During the First Year After Solid Organ Transplantation: An Epidemiological Update Open
Background There are limited contemporary data on the epidemiology and outcomes of bacteremia in solid organ transplant recipients (SOTr). Methods Using the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study registry from 2008 to 2019, we performed a retrospec…

Vaccine-Preventable Infections Among Solid Organ Transplant Recipients in Switzerland Open
Importance Vaccine responses are decreased in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients, and given the complexity of implementation, vaccination programs may be suboptimal. The actual burden of vaccine-preventable infections (VPIs) among SOT…
View article: Role of post-transplant graft scintigraphy in kidney donation after circulatory death
Role of post-transplant graft scintigraphy in kidney donation after circulatory death Open
Background There is no consensus on how to predict post-transplant function of donation after circulatory death ( DCD ) kidneys. Thus, we aimed to identify renal scintigraphy parameters that could predict 1-year kidney function. Methods In…

Differences Between Centers in Psychosocial Evaluations for Living Kidney Donors Do Not Influence Outcome: Results From an Observational Multicenter Study Open
Background. Rather little is known about how psychosocial evaluations for living kidney donation (LKD) are performed. We aimed to explore whether Swiss transplant centers (STCs) vary regarding the rate of living kidney donors refused for p…

Case Report: A Rare Truncating Variant of the CFHR5 Gene in IgA Nephropathy Open
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis worldwide. Despite appropriate therapy, 20–40% of affected-patients evolve toward end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Mesangial IgA deposits are the hallmark of IgAN, and co…

Infectious complications and graft outcome following treatment of acute antibody-mediated rejection after kidney transplantation: A nationwide cohort study Open
Acute antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) remains a challenge after kidney transplantation (KT). As there is no clear-cut treatment recommendation, accurate information on current therapeutic strategies in real-life practice is needed. KT re…

Impact of kidney transplantation on sleep apnea severity: A prospective polysomnographic study Open
Fluid overload has been associated with a high prevalence of sleep apnea (SA) in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). In this prospective study, we hypothesized that improvement in kidney function and hydration status after kidne…

Burden and Timeline of Infectious Diseases in the First Year After Solid Organ Transplantation in the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study Open
Background The burden and timeline of posttransplant infections are not comprehensively documented in the current era of immunosuppression and prophylaxis. Methods In this prospective study nested within the Swiss Transplant Cohort Study (…

Rituximab as monotherapy for the treatment of chronic active antibody-mediated rejection after kidney transplantation Open
Chronic active antibody-mediated rejection (caAMR) is a major cause of allograft loss after kidney transplantation (1). The BANFF 2013 classification redefined caAMR by the presence of donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies (DSA) together with…

Immunosuppressive therapy after solid-organ transplantation: does the INTERMED identify patients at risk of poor adherence? Open
Patients identified as complex pre-transplant by the INTERMED tended to deviate from their immunosuppressant regimen, but the findings were not statistically significant. Larger studies are needed to evaluate this association further, as w…
