Evidence is currently lacking regarding the outcomes of kidneys undergoing hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) in patients in the United Kingdom. Using the National Health Service Blood and Transplant database, the authors compared outcomes for recipients of single-organ donation after circulatory death (DCD) kidneys preserved with HMP with those preserved using only static cold storage (SCS). Between 2007 and 2015, HMP was used in 19.1% (864/4,529) of kidneys. Rates of delayed graft function (DGF) were significantly lower in organs preserved with HMP than for organs preserved with SCS (34.2% vs 42.0%, P < .001), despite a slightly longer cold ischemic time (median: 14.8 vs 14.1 hours, P < .001). Multivariable analysis found the effect of preservation modality to remain significant, with HMP organs having a significantly lower rate of DGF (odds ratio 0.65, 95% confidence interval 0.53-0.80, P < .001) and significantly shorter times to DGF resolution (average: 6.1 vs 7.4 days, P = .003) than SCS organs. The patient (P = .313) and graft (P = .263) survival rates were similar in the 2 preservation groups. HMP was associated with a marginal functional benefit in 1-year creatinine values (P = .044), with adjusted averages of 1.36 mg/dL (HMP) versus 1.40 mg/dL (SCS). This study supports the use of HMP and aids decision-making over its instigation, which may improve short-term patient outcomes.

D009927 Tissue and Organ Procurement The administrative procedures involved with acquiring TISSUES or organs for TRANSPLANTATION through various programs, systems, or organizations. These procedures include obtaining consent from TISSUE DONORS and arranging for transportation of donated tissues and organs, after TISSUE HARVESTING, to HOSPITALS for processing and transplantation.

D016019 Survival Analysis A class of statistical procedures for estimating the survival function (function of time, starting with a population 100% well at a given time and providing the percentage of the population still well at later times). The survival analysis is then used for making inferences about the effects of treatments, prognostic factors, exposures, and other covariates on the function.

D050377 Cold Ischemia The chilling of a tissue or organ during decreased BLOOD perfusion or in the absence of blood supply. Cold ischemia time during ORGAN TRANSPLANTATION begins when the organ is cooled with a cold perfusion solution after ORGAN PROCUREMENT surgery, and ends after the tissue reaches physiological temperature during implantation procedures.
