Food Insecurity in Pediatric Kidney Transplant Recipients
Our study highlights the feasibility and importance of screening pediatric kidney transplant recipients for FI with the Hunger Vital. The observed link of FI with demographic characteristics such as Hispanic ethnicity and having public insurance offers potential targets for intervention. Larger studies assessing FI and outcomes in pediatric transplant recipients are critical for focused interventions and policy development.
