ABSTRACT
The proportion of kidneys procured for transplantation but not utilized exceeds 20% in the United States. Factors associated with nonutilization are complex, and further understanding of novel causes are critically important. We used the national Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients data (2010-2022) to evaluate associations of Distressed Community Index (DCI) of deceased donor residence and likelihood of kidney nonutilization (n = 209 413). Deceased donors from higher distressed communities were younger, had an increased history of hypertension and diabetes, were CDC high-risk, and had higher terminal creatinine and donation after brain death. Mechanisms and circumstances of death varied significantly by DCI. The proportion of kidney nonutilization was 19.9%, which increased by DCI quintile (Q1 = 18.1% to Q5 = 21.6%). The adjusted odds ratio of nonutilization from the highest quintile DCI communities was 1.22 (95% CI = 1.16-1.28; reference = lowest DCI), which persisted stratified by donor race. Donors from highly distressed communities were highly variable by the donor service area (range 1%-51%; median = 21%). There was no increased risk for delayed graft function or death-censored graft loss by donor DCI but modest increased adjusted hazard for overall graft loss (high DCI = 1.05; 95% CI = 1.01-1.10; reference = lowest DCI). Results indicate that donor residential distress is associated with significantly higher rates of donor kidney nonutilization with notable regional variation and minimal impact on recipient outcomes.
