While age does not solely determine transplant eligibility, frailty in elderly recipients significantly impacts post-transplant outcomes, particularly within the first year.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The RETRAITE (REnal TRAnsplantIon ouTcome in Elderly recipients) study, a single-center retrospective cohort study at Grenoble Alpes University Hospital (France), examined kidney transplant recipients aged 70\u00a0years and above transplanted between 2015 and 2020. The composite primary endpoint was defined as either of any hospital stay exceeding 40\u00a0days, death and\/or return to dialysis within the first post-transplant year. The study explored risk factors for recipient and graft survival, rejection, hospitalizations over 40\u00a0days, and severe infections during the initial post-transplant year.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Over six years, 149 patients aged 70\u00a0years or older received transplants. Eleven patients died, and seven returned to dialysis within the first year, corresponding to a 1-year graft survival rate of 87.9%. At 1\u00a0year, 49 patients (33%) met the composite endpoint. There was a significant association between the composite endpoint and curative anticoagulation [odds ratio (OR) 5.20; P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a0.001], peripheral arteriopathy (OR 3.14; P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a0.001) and delayed graft function (OR\u00a08.24; P\u00a0&amp;lt;\u00a0.001). This cohort then was merged with a cohort of 150 younger kidney transplanted patients and we confirmed these results. Time on dialysis, prolonged cold ischemia and donor age contributed to higher morbidity and mortality. Conversely, preemptive and living donor transplants were associated with lower morbidity and mortality.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In this cohort aged over 70\u00a0years, age alone did not statistically correlate with increased morbidity and mortality. Variables related to grafts and donors, especially curative anticoagulation, were linked to poorer outcomes, emphasizing the favorable impact of preemptive and living donor transplants on morbidity and mortality in elderly patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/ckj\/sfae182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]],"date-time":"2024-06-19T00:35:07Z","timestamp":1718757307000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Unraveling complexity: morbidity factors in elderly kidney transplant recipients"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Alexandra","family":"Gineste","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology, Hemodialysis Apheresis and Kidney Transplantation, Department , CHU Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble , France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8549-5561","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"Malvezzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology, Hemodialysis Apheresis and Kidney Transplantation, Department , CHU Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble , France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9016-7506","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Jouve","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nephrology, Hemodialysis Apheresis and Kidney Transplantation, Department , CHU Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble , France"},{"name":"Univ.
