ABSTRACT
IMPORTANCE Transplantation has transformed into a burgeoning field that is rapidly evolving to optimize organ distribution and survival outcomes. The years since 2012 (the last comprehensive study) have seen changes in transplantation, such as advances in immunotherapy and novel indices, that necessitate an updated analysis of survival benefit. DESIGN:
Our goal was to determine the survival benefit for solid-organ transplants in the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database for a three decade period and provide updates on advancements since 2012. Our retrospective analysis examined data containing U.S. patient records from September 1, 1987, to September 1, 2021.RESULTS:
We found that 3,430,272 life-years were saved over our transplant period (4.33 life-years saved per patient); kidney-1,998,492 life-years; liver -767,414; heart-435,312; lung-116,625; pancreas-kidney-123,463; pancreas-30,575; intestine-7901. After matching, 3,296,851 life-years were saved. Life-years saved and median survival increased for all organs between 2012 and 2021. Compared to 2012, median survival increased in kidney (from 12.4 to 14.76 years), liver (from 11.6 to 14.59), heart (9.5 to 11.73), lung (5.2 to 5.63), pancreas-kidney (from 14.5 to 16.88), pancreas (from 13.3 to 16.10). When compared to 2012, the percent transplanted increased in kidney, liver, heart, lung, and intestine, while pancreas-kidney and pancreas show decreased percent transplanted.CONCLUSION:
Our study underscores the tremendous survival benefits of solid organ transplantation (over 3.4 million life-years saved) and shows improvements since 2012. Our study also highlights areas of transplantation, notably pancreas transplants, that may necessitate reinvigorated attention.Palavras-chave
