摘要: Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the basis for racial/ethnic disparity in kidney allograft survival. Methods We conducted a retrospective 2130 patients who underwent transplantation between January 1995 and December 2003. Patient graft survivals were compared using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results Black recipients more likely than white have hepatitis C infection (24.6% vs 7.1%), current tobacco use (21.2% 13.1%), previous alcohol (22.6% 9.7%), past illicit drug (13.6% 3.9%). Current employment less common among blacks. Additionally, black prior transplant (16.7% 11.0%) cadaver donor (74% 56.5%). 5-year survival rate 72% whites 59% blacks (p Conclusions Graft is significantly lower whites, can be partially explained by low live donors higher
