ABSTRACT
Introduction: Rehospitalization
after renal transplantation predicts
morbidity and mortality, is associated
with higher costs, and indicates health
care quality. Identifying risk factors
for rehospitalization makes it possible
to implement measures that improve
the quality of care and develop
interventions in the pre-transplant
stage. Objectives: Establish the
incidence of early rehospitalization
in renal transplantation and
evaluate variables associated with
rehospitalization and its impact on
the recipient and graft.
Materials
and Methods: Observational,
longitudinal, retrospective study. We
analyzed a cohort of adult kidney
transplant patients from 01/01/2006 to
12/31/2018.
Results: 196 adult kidney
transplant patients were included
in the study. The incidence of early
rehospitalization was 17.8% (n=35).
Patient and graft survival were similar
in both groups. The cause of death was
predominantly infectious 52% (n=22),
while the cause of graft loss was chronic
allograft nephropathy 24% (n=14) and
death with a functioning graft 48%
(n=28).
Conclusions: The incidence
of early rehospitalization after renal
transplantation in our center is low
compared to other publications. Our
study did not show that readmission
after renal transplantation is associated
with worse outcomes.
