We estimated costs of the kidney transplant admission analyzed for association with induction agent and clinical factors. Participants were grouped by induction agent: interleukin\u20102 receptor blocker (IL2RB), anti\u2010thymocyte globulin (ATG), and alemtuzumab. We also estimated inpatient care and other hospital\u2010based services during the first year after transplantation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 831 children and young adults &lt;\u200921\u2009years who received a kidney transplant between January 2010 through 2019 were identified. Among these, 50.5% received ATG, 31.3% received IL2RB only, and 18.2% received alemtuzumab. Among clinical characteristics studied, sex and likelihood of pre\u2010emptive transplant were similar among the groups. Though unadjusted index hospitalization costs (IHC) were significantly different among the induction groups, induction choice was not associated with IHC in multivariable analysis. Younger age at the time of transplantation and delayed graft function (DGF) were independently associated with higher IHC. Unadjusted hospital\u2010based costs incurred after discharge from the transplant procedure through the first year after transplantation were similar among induction groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among pediatric and young adult kidney transplant recipients, IHC was comparable across induction agents.
