A systematic review for variables to be collected in a transplant database for improving risk prediction

Background: This systematic review was commissioned to identify new variables associated with transplant outcomes that are not currently collected by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). Methods: We identified 81 unique studies including 1,193,410 patients with median follow-up of 36 months posttransplant, reporting 108 unique risk factors. Results: Most risk factors (104) were recipient-related; few (4) were donor-related. Most risk factors were judged to be practical and feasible to routinely collect. Relative association measures were small to moderate for most risk factors (ranging between 1.0 and 2.0). The strongest relative association measure for a heart transplant outcome with a risk factor was 8.6 (recipient with previous Fontan operation), for a kidney transplant 2.8 (sickle cell nephropathy as primary cause of end-stage renal disease), for a liver transplant 14.3 (recipient serum ferritin over 500 µg/L), and for a lung transplant 6.3 (Burkholderia cepacia complex infection for 1 year or less). OPTN may consider some of these additional variables for future collection to enhance transplant research and clinical care. Conclusions: Evidence-based approaches can be used to determine variables collected in databases and registries. Several candidate variables have been identified for OPTN. Disclosure: The authors have no conflicts of interest to disclose. Funding: This work was conducted under the auspices of the Minneapolis Medical Research Foundation, contractor for the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients, as a deliverable under contract number HHSH250201500009C (US Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, Healthcare Systems Bureau, Division of Transplantation).
