Comparison of outcomes after living and deceased donor kidney transplantation: UK national cohort study
LDKT is associated with superior graft survival compared with DDKT after adjusting for confounders. Findings highlight the importance of promoting living donor programmes whilst simultaneously identifying opportunities to enhance DDKT. Future work may clarify whether factors such as reduced cold ischaemia time drive these benefits.
