TLDR
A systematic review of studies comparing adult chronic dialysis patients with kidney transplantation recipients for clinical outcomes found significantly lower mortality associated with transplantation, and the relative magnitude of the benefit seemed to increase over time.About:

Kidney donation after circulatory death (DCD): state of the art
Dominic M. Summers,Dominic M. Summers,Christopher J.E. Watson,Gavin J. Pettigrew,Rachel J. Johnson,David Collett,James Neuberger,J. Andrew Bradley +7 more
TL;DR: An updated, extended UK registry analysis is presented showing that longer-term transplant outcomes in DCD donor kidneys are also similar to those for DBD donor kidneys, and that transplant outcomes for kidneys from expanded-criteria DCD donors are no less favorable than for expanded-Criteria DBD donors.

Comparison of Life Participation Activities Among Adults Treated by Hemodialysis, Peritoneal Dialysis, and Kidney Transplantation: A Systematic Review
Tanjala S. Purnell,Tanjala S. Purnell,Priscilla Auguste,Deidra C. Crews,Deidra C. Crews,Julio A. Lamprea-Montealegre,Temitope Olufade,Raquel C. Greer,Raquel C. Greer,Patti L. Ephraim,Johanna Sheu,Daniel Kostecki,Neil R. Powe,Hamid Rabb,Bernard G. Jaar,Bernard G. Jaar,L. Ebony Boulware,L. Ebony Boulware +17 more
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that patients with kidney transplants may experience better rates of life participation compared with patients receiving dialysis, whereas patients receiving hemodialysis and patients receiving peritoneal dialysis may experience similar rates ofLife participation.

The feasibility of creating a checklist for the assessment of the methodological quality both of randomised and non-randomised studies of health care interventions.
Sara H. Downs,Nick Black +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that it is feasible to develop a checklist that can be used to assess the methodological quality not only of randomised controlled trials but also non-randomised studies and it is possible to produce a Checklist that provides a profile of the paper, alerting reviewers to its particular methodological strengths and weaknesses.
