Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effect of birth order on outcomes of renal transplantation from siblings.Method We conducted a retrospective study to examine the immune effect exerted by birth order in kidney transplantation between siblings.227 kidney transplants were included and we stratified the cohort by birth order,old to young parings (group A,104 pairs) and young to old pairings (group B,123 pairs),using old to young parings as reference group.Result During the follow-up period,4 recipients suffered graft failure and 2 died.The survival rate of recipients and grafts was 98％ and 95％,respectively.After adjusting the effect of confounding factors in demography,young to old pairings were found at a higher risk of developing death uncensored graft failure (Hazards ratio,HR =2.77,95％ CI..0.23,33.00),which was not significantly different from group A (P =0.42).And group B had a higher risk of developing death censored graft failure (HR =10.79,95％ CI:0.30-389.43),with no statistically significant difference (P＞0.05).Most rejections occurred in two months after transplantation,and the rejection-free rate in 3 years post-transplantation was 86％.Similarly,no significant difference was detected between the two groups in terms of death censored graft failure,and no benefit of birth order was found in rejection protection (HR =1.266,95％ CI:0.391,4.103,P =0.694).Conclusion Birth order may not be taken into consideration in kidney transplantation between siblings.
