摘要: In this report we evaluated the association of marital status with access to renal transplantation. We analyzed data from USRDS. patients ESRD aged ≥27 (mean age first marriage in US), two outcomes: (1) likelihood being placed on waiting list for transplantation or transplant, (2) receiving kidney transplant already listed. as a categorical variable: not married (including never been and widowed); divorced separated; (3) currently married. Subgroups based age, race, sex, donor type diabetic were also analyzed. After adjustments included independent variables compared individuals widowed, those who divorced/separated (HR 1.55, p < 0.001) 1.54, had higher list. Once listed, chances getting transplanted well 1.28, = 0.033). This trend was consistent most subgroups studied. demonstrated that is associated better married/widowed.
