Abstract

Background: Comorbidity is increasingly common in kidney transplant recipients, yet the implications for transplant outcomes are not fully understood. We analysed the relationship between recipient comorbidity and survival outcomes in a UK-wide prospective cohort study – ATTOM.

Methods: 2100 adult kidney transplant recipients were recruited from all 23 UK transplant centers between 2011-2013. Data on 15 comorbidities were collected at the time of transplantation. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to analyse the relationship between comorbidity and 2-year graft survival, patient survival and transplant survival (earliest of graft failure or patient death) for deceased-donor kidney transplant (DDKT) recipients (n=1288) and living-donor kidney transplant (LDKT) recipients (n=812).

Results: For DDKT recipients, peripheral vascular disease (HR 3.04, 95%CI 1.37, 6.74, p=0.006) and obesity (HR 2.27, 95%CI 1.27, 4.06, p=0.006) were independent risk factors for graft loss, while heart failure (HR 3.77, 95%CI 1.79, 7.95, p=0.0005), cerebrovascular disease (HR 3.45, 95%CI 1.72, 6.92, p=0.0005) and chronic liver disease (HR 4.36, 95%CI 1.29, 14.71, p=0.018) were associated with an increased risk of mortality. For LDKT recipients, heart failure (HR 3.83, 95%CI 1.15, 12.81, p=0.029) and diabetes (HR 2.23, 95%CI 1.03, 4.81, p=0.042) were associated with poorer transplant survival.

Conclusion: The key comorbidities that predict poorer 2-year survival outcomes after kidney transplantation have been identified in this large prospective cohort study. The findings will facilitate assessment of individual patient risks and evidence-based decision making.
