Journal ArticleDOI
Post-transplant infections now exceed acute rejection as cause for hospitalization: a report of the NAPRTCS.
TL;DR: The causes of hospitalization at all times up to 24 months post‐transplant, including the critical early 6 months, have shifted away from AR to PTI, and the risk of bacterial and viral infection‐related hospitalization rose significantly from 1987 to 2000.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-transplant Lymphoproliferative disorder in the United States : Young Caucasian males are at highest risk
TL;DR: Young Caucasian males are at highest risk for PTLD development among solid‐organ‐transplant recipients, and similar frequencies of PTLD were found in smaller organ‐specific registries of heart, intestine, pediatric liver and pediatric kidney transplants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of PTLD in Pediatric Renal Transplant Recipients Receiving Basiliximab, Calcineurin Inhibitor, Sirolimus and Steroids
Ruth A. McDonald,Jodi M. Smith,Martin Ho,R. Lindblad,D. Ikle,Paul C. Grimm,Robert J. Wyatt,Mazen Y Arar,D. Liereman,Nancy D. Bridges,William E. Harmon +10 more

Journal ArticleDOI
Changing trends in pediatric transplantation: 2001 Annual Report of the North American Pediatric Renal Transplant Cooperative Study.
TL;DR: Changing trends in many areas of pediatric transplantation are demonstrated including increasing numbers of African American and Hispanic children receiving transplantation, remarkable improvements in the rate of acute rejection, rejection reversal, and short‐ and long‐term allograft survival, and areas of continued challenges are revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amir Tejani,E. K. Sullivan,Steven R. Alexander,Richard N. Fine,William E. Harmon,Edward C. Kohaut +5 more
TL;DR: This large study reviewing pediatric renal transplantation over 10 yr clearly delineates the role of DGF as a major risk factor for graft failure.
