Résumé
Kidney transplant (KT) was initially associated with poor outcomes, especially in smaller recipients. However, pediatric transplantation has evolved considerably over time. We investigated the impact of weight at the time of transplant and whether outcomes changed over 25 years for <10 kg recipients. Using the UNOS database, pediatric recipient outcomes were analyzed between 1/1/99 and 12/31/14. KT weight was stratified: <8.6 kg (mean weight of recipients <10 kg), 8.6-9.9 kg, 10-14.9 kg, 15-29.9 kg, and ≥30 kg. Outcomes in recipients <10 kg were then compared between 1990-1999 and 2000-2014. 17 314 pediatric KT recipients were included; 518 (3%) had a transplant weight <10 kg. The highest rates of allograft loss and death were in recipients <8.6 kg and ≥30 kg. Recipients <8.6 kg also had higher rates of delayed graft function, rejection, and longer hospital length of stay. In the multivariable Cox regression model, transplant weight was not a predictor of allograft loss. When compared with recipients <8.6 kg, patient survival hazard ratios associated with recipient weight of 10-14.9 kg, 15-29.9 kg, and ≥30 kg were 0.61 (95%CI: 0.4, 1), 0.42 (95%CI: 0.3, 0.7) and 0.32 (95%CI: 0.2, 0.6), respectively. In the later era of transplant, recipients <10 kg had improved outcomes on univariate analysis; however, the era of transplantation was not an independent predictor of allograft loss or patient survival in Cox regression models. Outcomes in children weighing 8.6-9.9 kg at the time of KT were similar to higher weight groups and improved over time; however, special precautions should be taken for recipients <8.6 kg at the time of transplant.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
Kidney transplant (KT) was initially associated with poor outcomes, especially in smaller recipients. However, pediatric transplantation has evolved considerably over time. We investigated the impact of weight at the time of transplant and whether outcomes changed over 25 years for <10 kg recipients.
METHODS
METHODS
Using the UNOS database, pediatric recipient outcomes were analyzed between 1/1/99 and 12/31/14. KT weight was stratified: <8.6 kg (mean weight of recipients <10 kg), 8.6-9.9 kg, 10-14.9 kg, 15-29.9 kg, and ≥30 kg. Outcomes in recipients <10 kg were then compared between 1990-1999 and 2000-2014.
RESULTS
RESULTS
17 314 pediatric KT recipients were included; 518 (3%) had a transplant weight <10 kg. The highest rates of allograft loss and death were in recipients <8.6 kg and ≥30 kg. Recipients <8.6 kg also had higher rates of delayed graft function, rejection, and longer hospital length of stay. In the multivariable Cox regression model, transplant weight was not a predictor of allograft loss. When compared with recipients <8.6 kg, patient survival hazard ratios associated with recipient weight of 10-14.9 kg, 15-29.9 kg, and ≥30 kg were 0.61 (95%CI: 0.4, 1), 0.42 (95%CI: 0.3, 0.7) and 0.32 (95%CI: 0.2, 0.6), respectively. In the later era of transplant, recipients <10 kg had improved outcomes on univariate analysis; however, the era of transplantation was not an independent predictor of allograft loss or patient survival in Cox regression models.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Outcomes in children weighing 8.6-9.9 kg at the time of KT were similar to higher weight groups and improved over time; however, special precautions should be taken for recipients <8.6 kg at the time of transplant.
