Background
Currently, no tools exist to facilitate patients with decisions to accep or refuse an offer. Using the scientific registry of transplant recipients database, we formulated a risk calculator for allograft failure and patient mortality risk (if offer accepted) vs. mortality risk if the patient refused.
Methods
Using a multi-state model approach, we created multiple competing risk models for: 1) first kidney offer or dying on wait-list without any offer; 2) if offer is refused, the probability of a) receiving a transplant vs. b) death and 3) if an offer is accepted, the probability of a) allograft failure vs. b) death. All models were adjusted for candidate estimated post-transplant survival (EPTS) score while allograft failure and patient survival was adjusted for recipient EPTS, donor KDPI and cold ischemic time.
Results
Fig.1 shows our multi-state model for which the competing risk models were build. Table 1 depicts the hazard ratio for each stage described above and the kidney offer risk calculator created using the estimates generated from the models. We included a case scenario to demonstrate how the calculator works (Table 1).
Conclusion
In summary, creating a risk calculator is feasible. Next, we will refine our calculator to account for repeated offers and include other variables that may affect allograft offer and survival e.g. panel reactive antibody.
