Assessing the discrimination of the Kidney Donor Risk Index/Kidney Donor Profile Index scores for allograft failure and estimated glomerular filtration rate in Ireland’s National Kidney Transplant Programme

摘要

BackgroundThe Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI)/Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) is relied upon for donor organ allocation in the USA, based on its association with graft failure in time-to-event models. However, the KDRI/KDPI has not been extensively evaluated in terms of predictive metrics for graft failure and allograft estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) outside of the USA.
