RESUMO
The success of solid organ transplantation (SOT) and the use of immunosuppressive agents offer hope to patients with end-stage diseases. However, the impact of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) on SOT patients has become increasingly evident. In our study, we utilized the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) database to investigate the association between PTDM and patient survival in various types of organ transplantations, including liver, kidney, intestinal, heart, lung, and combined heart-lung transplantations (all P <0.001). Our findings revealed a negative effect of PTDM on the survival of these patients. Furthermore, we examined the effects of both generic and innovator immunosuppressive agents on the development of PTDM and the overall survival of different SOT populations. Interestingly, the results were inconsistent, indicating that the impact of these agents may vary depending on the specific type of transplantation and patient population. Overall, our study provides a comprehensive and systematic assessment of the effects of different immunosuppressive agents on prognosis, as well as the impact of PTDM on the survival of patients undergoing various types of SOT. These findings emphasize the need for further research and highlight the importance of optimizing immunosuppressive regimens and managing PTDM in SOT patients to improve their long-term outcomes.
