RESUMO

Literature is limited comparing induction immunosuppression in pediatric liver transplant (LTx) recipients. This is a single-center, retrospective cohort study of primary pediatric liver transplants at our center between 2005 and 2016 who received either basiliximab (BSX) or rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) induction. Maintenance immunosuppression consisted of tacrolimus ± a corticosteroid taper. Exclusions included receipt of an ABO-incompatible graft, retransplantation, and multi-organ transplantation. Primary outcomes were incidence of treated biopsy-proven acute rejection (tBPAR) and PTLD within the first year and infections within 90 days of LTx. Secondary outcomes included graft and patient survival, time to first tBPAR, and incidence of steroid-resistant rejection (SRR) within the first year post-LTx. A total of 136 patients were included in the final analysis of which 57 patients (42%) received BSX induction. Patients who received rATG induction with or without a 2-week corticosteroid taper experienced significantly more tBPAR compared to those who received BSX induction with a 6-month corticosteroid taper (55.7% vs 33.3%, P = .01). There were no differences in the incidence of PTLD, infections, SRR, graft or patient survival, or time to first tBPAR between the two groups. Induction with rATG either with or without a short corticosteroid taper was associated with significantly more tBPAR in primary pediatric LTx recipients when compared to BSX induction with a prolonged corticosteroid taper in the setting of maintenance immunosuppression with tacrolimus.
