Change in Estimated GFR and Risk of Allograft Failure in... : Transplantation owing the diagnosis of AMR and the risk of subsequent death-censored graft failure using the joint modeling framework. We included recipients of solitary KTx between 1995 and 2013 at 4 transplant centers diagnosed with biopsy-proven active AMR at least 1 year post-KTx, who had a minimum of 3-year follow-up. Results. A total of 91 patients across participating centers were included in the analysis. Of the 91 patients, n = 54 patients (59%) met the death-censored graft failure endpoint and n = 62 patients (68%) met the all-cause graft failure composite endpoint. Kaplan-Meier death-censored graft survival rates at 12, 36, and 60 months postdiagnosis of AMR pooled across centers were 88.9%, 58.9%, and 36.4%, respectively. Spaghetti plots indicated a linear trend in the change in eGFR, especially in the first 12 months postdiagnosis of active AMR. A significant change in eGFR was observed within the first 12 months postdiagnosis of active AMR, getting worse by a factor of −0.757 mL/min/1.73 m2 per month during the 12-month analysis period (a delta of −9.084 mL/min/1.73 m2 at 1 y). Notably, an extrapolated 30% improvement in the slope of eGFR in the first 12 months was associated with a 10% improvement in death-censored graft failure at 5 years. Conclusions. If prospectively validated, this study may inform the design of pivotal clinical trials for therapies for late AMR.... https://redirect.viglink.com/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fjournals.lww.com%2Ftransplantjournal%2Ffulltext%2F2021%2F03000%2Fchange_in_estimated_gfr_and_risk_of_allograft.28.aspx&key=a7e37b5f6ff1de9cb410158b1013e54a&prodOvrd=RAC&opt=false
