Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our primary outcome is the correlation between calcification score and kidney function 1-year post-transplantation as measured with the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula (CKD-EPI). Our secondary outcomes are (death-censored) graft survival, patient survival, cardiovascular event-free survival, surgical complications and operation complexity (scored by the transplant surgeon and as measured with operation duration). The primary outcome of the sub-study is change in Fried frailty index and SPPB score 6 months post-transplantation. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. (death-censored) Graft survival at 1 year and 3 years 2. Cardiovascular event-free survival at 1 year and 3 years 3. Patient survival at 1 year and 3 years 4. Incidence of complications after surgery 5. Operation complexity 6. Change in Fried frailty index and SPPB score post-transplantation | — |
