<scp>HELP</scp>‐<scp>KIDNEY</scp>: Health Literacy and Patient Outcomes in Pediatric Kidney Transplant

Limited health literacy is common in pediatric kidney transplant recipients and families and is associated with increased frequency of hospital and outpatient clinic department visits early post-transplant. In this small-sized cohort, we did not identify a relationship between health literacy level and hospitalization days, allograft function, or tacrolimus adherence. Larger studies are needed to evaluate the relationship between health literacy and transplant outcomes in children and test interventions that may improve communication and optimize care.
