Association of High Burden of End-stage Kidney Disease With Decreased Kidney Transplant Rates With the Updated US Kidney Allocation Policy Open
The new OPTN-approved kidney allocation policy may result in worsening geographic disparities in access to transplants when measured against the burden of ESKD within a particular region of the US.

Costs and factors associated with heart failure following kidney transplantation – a single‐center retrospective cohort study Open
The number of adults with heart failure (HF) will increase by ~50% between 2012 and 2030. Among kidney transplant recipients, HF accounts for 16% of all post-transplant admissions. We describe the burden of HF and predictors of healthcare …

Development and future deployment of a 5 years allograft survival model for kidney transplantation Open
Aim Identifying kidney transplant patients at highest risk for graft loss prior to loss may allow for effective interventions to improve 5 years survival. Methods We performed a 10 years retrospective cohort study of adult kidney transplan…

A quantitative appraisal of African Americans’ decisions to become registered organ donors at the driver’s license office Open
African American (AA) organ donation registration rates fall short of national objectives. The goal of the present study was to utilize data acquired from a quantitative telephone survey to provide information for a future Department of Mo…

The impact of time-varying clinical surrogates on disparities in African-American kidney transplant recipients - a retrospective longitudinal cohort study Open
An improved understanding of the impact of clinical surrogates on disparities in African-American (AA) kidney transplantation (KTX) is needed. We conducted a 10-year retrospective longitudinal cohort study of electronically abstracted clin…

Renal Function Variability: An Independent Risk Factor for Graft Loss and Death following Kidney Transplantation Open
Background: Several studies have been performed to evaluate surrogate markers of long-term allograft function in renal transplant recipients. These include serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), slope of eGFR, and m…
