Kidney transplant from controlled donors following circulatory death: Results from the GEODAS-3 multicentre study.
CONCLUSIONS: CIT is a modifiable factor for improving the incidence of primary non-function in kidney transplant arising from cDCD. cDCD kidney transplant recipients have higher delayed graft function rate, but the same patient and graft survival compared to brain-dead donation in historical references. These results are convincing enough to continue fostering this type of donation.
