BACKGROUND The clinical diagnosis of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease after kidney transplantation is often not accurate. We evaluated the factors associated with a correct diagnosis of CMV disease in these patients. METHODS This retrospective study of all renal transplant patients between 2004 and 2005 with a clinical diagnosis of CMV disease included both donors and recipients who were seropositive for CMV at transplantation. We assessed the rate and correlated factors with a correct diagnosis. RESULTS Among 127 cases, the 30 (23.6%) patients who had a correct diagnosis of CMV disease. Showed higher ages at transplantation (48.8 +/- 15.3 vs. 39.8 +/- 14.4 years; P=.004) and a shorter interval between transplantation and symptom presentation (9.7 +/- 20.7 vs. 25.6 +/- 33.6 days; P=.048). Diabetes mellitus (DM) was the cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in 41% of patients with a correct diagnosis, whereas it was the cause in 11% of CMV disease-negative patients (P<.001). A multiple logistic regression model showed that DM as the cause of ESRD (P=.001; odds ratio [OR] 16.331), >5 months duration between transplantation and the presence of symptoms (P=.001; OR, 0.060), and age at transplantation >55 years (P=.022; OR, 3.833) were predictors of a correct diagnosis of CMV disease (chi(2)=46.45; P<.001). CONCLUSIONS The results herein showed that considering some variables significantly improved the accuracy of a correct diagnosis of CMV disease after kidney transplantation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.

D003430 Cross-Sectional Studies Studies in which the presence or absence of disease or other health-related variables are determined in each member of the study population or in a representative sample at one particular time. This contrasts with LONGITUDINAL STUDIES which are followed over a period of time.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.
