A meta-analysis of graft survival, patient survival and delayed graft function in first-time and repeat kidney transplants
These findings underscore the superior graft survival associated with first and second KT compared with subsequent retransplants, particularly in the early post-transplant period, while highlighting the lack of significant differences in overall patient survival across groups; however, variability in outcomes due to study heterogeneity and patient-specific factors warrants cautious interpretation and tailored clinical approaches.
