dc.description.abstract Background: The use of kidneys from elderly controlled donation after circulatory death (cDCD) donors has increased significantly in recent years. Concerns about outcomes achieved with these elderly cDCD kidneys have arisen. We aimed to compare outcomes from elderly cDCD kidney transplant recipients (KTrs) and elderly donation after brain death donors (DBDs) in KTrs. Methods: We conducted a single-centre retrospective study including 87 cDCD-KTrs (46 from donors ≥65 years of age and 41 from <65 years) and 126 DBD-KTrs from donors ≥65 years of age from 2013 through 2017). Young cDCD-KTrs were used as controls. The median follow-up was 27.1 months for all cDCD-KTrs and 29.7 months for DBD-KTrs ≥65 years of age. Results: Donors >65 years of age represented more than half of our global cDCD cohort (52.9%). KTs from elderly cDCDs had similar rates of delayed graft function, primary non-function and vascular complications compared with young cDCD-KTrs and elderly DBD-KTrs. Short and medium-term graft survival from elderly cDCD kidneys are excellent and are comparable to those from young cDCD and elderly DBD kidneys (90% young cDCD versus 88% elderly cDCD versus 80% elderly DBD at 36 months, P = 0.962 and 0.180, respectively). Although recipients from cDCDs ≥65 years of age showed lower 3-year patient survival (78% versus 87% in elderly DBD-KTrs; P = 0.01), recipient age was the only determinant of patient survival [hazard ratio 1.10 (95% confidence interval 1.02-1.17); P < 0.01], without any influence of donor characteristics. Conclusions: The use of kidneys from elderly cDCDs is increasing in Spain. Short- and medium-term graft outcomes are similar when comparing kidneys from elderly cDCDs and DBDs. Recipient age is the only determinant of patient survival. Additional studies are needed to assess long-term outcomes.
