Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Rate and severity of acute rejection during the first year post-transplantation is measured using kidney biopsy at 6 months post-transplantation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Time to and the rate of serious infections are measured using history of admissions and blood culture and urine culture taken at each time admission for one year after transplantation 2. CMV infection rate is measured using CMV Ag pp65 antigenemia confirmed by CMV PCR monthly for one year after transpmantation 3. Length of hospital stay is measured through patient note review for any hospital admission within one year of transplantation 4. Rate of readmission is measured through patient note review for one year after transplantation 5. Incidence of hematologic abnormalities and renal function are assessed by measuring serum creatinine and estimating glomerular filtration rate using CKD-EPI using CKD-EPI and checking CBC (diff) monthly at each visit for one year after transplantation
