Citation CADTH. Kidney transplantation following cardiocirculatory death: a review of the clinical evidence and guidelines. Ottawa: Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH). Rapid Response - Summary with Critical Appraisal. 2013 Authors' conclusions The evidence suggests that medium-term patient and graft survival are similar between groups receiving kidney transplants from donations following cardiocirculatory death and from donations following brain death, despite a higher incidence of delayed graft function following donation after cardiocirculatory death. These findings should be viewed with caution given the study limitations including the retrospective observational study design, residual confounding, limited sample size and lack of statistical power to detect differences between groups.
