Neighborhood Ambient Air Pollution and Post‐Transplant Outcomes in Older Kidney Transplant Recipients
Residence in neighborhoods with high concentrations of ambient air pollutants can worsen patient and graft survival, as well as increase the risk of stroke among older KT recipients. Early screening and interventions targeting older recipients living in such neighborhoods may be crucial for preserving cognitive and cerebrovascular health, as well as improving longitudinal quality of life.
