    Abstract Objective: To analyze the spatial flow of care for patients undergoing dialysis therapy in the health regions of the State of Minas Gerais.
    Methods: Ecological study whose population was patients undergoing dialysis therapy in public, philanthropic institutions or whose treatment was paid for by the Unified Health System in private clinics in partnership, in the State of Minas Gerais. Patients were grouped by health region of residence. The proportions of patients who underwent dialysis were calculated, as well as enrollment on the kidney transplant list in their own region of residence or outside it. Person correlations of these proportions with socioeconomic and care indicators of the health regions were estimated. Spatial exploratory techniques estimated general (Moran's I) and local (LISA) spatial correlation coefficients.
    Results: Regions with higher GDP had a higher number of nephrologists and a higher proportion of registrations in the region of residence. A cluster of regions with low GDP was identified further to the northeast of the State (also with lower nephrologist ratio values), a cluster with a high proportion of those registered on the transplant list in the center of the State, and a cluster with a low proportion of dialysis in the same region of residence further southeast.
    Conclusion: Regional disparities were evident in relation to the proportion of patients registered on the waiting list for kidney transplantation, the proportion of patients undergoing dialysis in the same region of residence and the proportion of patients registered on the waiting list for kidney transplantation in the same region of residence. residence.

    Abstract Background: This analysis aims to assess the association between population restrictive measures and the cumulative number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in the early phase of pandemic. Methods: We compared mobility data extracted from the Mobility Reports provided by Google with the cumulative number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 of 15 countries provided by John Hopkins University. We compared the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases before and after the peak effect (PE) of population mobility restrictions in each country, defined as the highest percent reduction in mobility measurements. Results: Time to PE of population mobility restrictions ranged between 16 and 45 days after the report of the index COVID-19 confirmed case in each country. The most frequent reductions in activities were retail & recreation, parks, and transit & stations, ranging from 30% to 90%. Despite this variability in PE among the countries, the predicted smooth effect after the PE of population mobility restrictions was observed in almost all countries. Conclusions: These data suggest that the reduction in mobility was associated with a decrease in the cumulative total number of COVI-19 cases in each country, underscoring that the use of widely available real-time surveillance data might be a valuable resource during this pandemic

    Abstract Background: Predicting waiting time for a deceased donor kidney transplant can help patients and clinicians to discuss management and contribute to a more efficient use of resources. This study aimed at developing a predictor model to estimate time on a kidney transplant waiting list using a machine learning approach.
    Methods: A retrospective cohort study including data of patients registered, between January 1, 2000 and December 31, 2017, in the waiting list of São Paulo State Organ Allocation System (SP-OAS) /Brazil. Data were randomly divided into two groups: 75% for training and 25% for testing. A Cox regression model was fitted with deceased donor transplant as the outcome. Sensitivity analyses were performed using different Cox models. Cox hazard ratios were used to develop the risk-prediction equations.
    Results: Of 54,055 records retrieved, 48,153 registries were included in the final analysis. During the study period, approximately 1/3 of the patients were transplanted with a deceased donor. The major characteristics associated with changes in the likelihood of transplantation were age, subregion, cPRA, and frequency of HLA-DR, -B and -A. The model developed was able to predict waiting time with good agreement in internal validation (c-index = 0.70).
    Conclusion: The kidney transplant waiting time calculator developed shows good predictive performance and provides information that may be valuable in assisting candidates and their providers. Moreover, it can significantly improve the use of economic resources and the management of patient care before transplant.

    Abstract Background: Brazil has the world's largest public organ transplant program, which was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary aim of the study was to evaluate differences in solid organ transplants and rejection episodes during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the five years before the pandemic in the country.
    Methods: A seven-year database was built by downloading data from the DATASUS server. The pandemic period was defined as March 2020 to December 2021. The pre-pandemic period was from January 2015 to March 2020.
    Results: During the pandemic, the number of solid organ transplants decreased by 19.3% in 2020 and 22.6% in 2021 compared to 2019. We found a decrease for each evaluated organ, which was more pronounced for lung, pancreas, and kidney transplants. The seasonal plot of rejection data indicated a high rejection rate between 2018 and 2021. There was also an 18% (IRR 1.18 (95% CI 1.01 to 1.37),
    Conclusions: The total number of organ transplants performed in 2021 represents a setback of six years. Transplant procedures were concentrated in the Southeast region of the country, and a higher proportion of rejections occurred during the pandemic. Together, these findings could have an impact on transplant procedures and outcomes in Brazil.

    Abstract Brazil has established the largest public kidney transplantation system in the world .46.2% of transplants in 2008 came from living donors. The vast majority of these involved relatives of the recipient; less than 8% came from unrelated donors. In 2008, Brazil's health minister proposed banning unrelated donors in kidney transplantation. A large number of the over 35,000 Brazilians on the waiting list for a kidney would be denied a transplant without the use of unrelated donors. Brazilian culture has a unique feature, the "informal family", that is not legally recognised as a "family entity and is bound by affection rather than genetic or legal ties. It is vital that Brazil establishes a regulated, standardised, and ethical system of organ procurement; creates awareness about transplantation in physicians and the public; upgrades facilities and standardises medical care, and enforces legislation for transplantation. However, outlawing the use of unrelated donors would result in injustice for many patients who seek kidneys.

    Abstract Objetivo: Descrever aspectos do perfil clínico e nutricional da população atendida no processo de triagem de candidatos a transplante renal. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo de caráter descritivo retrospectivo, realizado no período de fevereiro/2012 a dezembro/2013 no Ambulatório de Triagem Multidisciplinar Pré-transplante da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de Juiz de Fora (MG/Brasil). Foram avaliados 410 indivíduos candidatos a inscrição em lista de espera para transplante renal, maiores de 18 anos de idade, clinicamente estáveis, com função renal inferior a 15mL/min e/ou em programa de terapia renal substitutiva. Resultados: Nefroesclerose hipertensiva foi a principal etiologia da doença renal. Excesso de peso foi observado em 46,6% da amostra e 51,0% apresentava síndrome metabólica. O índice de massa corporal foi maior em indivíduos com o transplante renal contraindicado. Obesidade abdominal foi encontrada em 71,3% das mulheres. Valores de albumina e creatinina estiveram mais elevados em pacientes que tiveram o transplante renal efetivado. Conclusão: O excesso de peso, presente em aproximadamente metade da amostra, se mostrou como um fator que pode dificultar a efetividade do transplante renal, pois no presente estudo indivíduos com obesidade foram menos transplantados quando comparados aqueles eutróficos

    Abstract Background: The chronic use of immunosuppressive drugs is a key risk factor of death because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs), although no evident association between the class of immunosuppressive and outcomes has been observed. Thus, we aimed to compare COVID-19-associated outcomes among KTRs receiving 3 different immunosuppressive maintenance regimes.
    Methods: This study included data from 1833 KTRs with COVID-19 diagnosed between March 20 and April 21 extracted from the national registry before immunization. All patients were taking calcineurin inhibitor associated with mycophenolate acid (MPA, n = 1258), azathioprine (AZA, n = 389), or mammalian targets of rapamycin inhibitors (mTORi, n = 186). Outcomes within 30 and 90 d were assessed.
    Results: Compared with patients receiving MPA, the 30-d (79.9% versus 87.9% versus 89.2%; P < 0.0001) and 90-d (75% versus 83.5% versus 88.2%; P < 0.0001) unadjusted patient survivals were higher in those receiving AZA or mTORi, respectively. Using adjusted multivariable Cox regression, compared with patients receiving AZA, the use of MPA was associated with a higher risk of death within 30 d (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 1.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.21-2.40; P = 0.003), which was not observed in patients using mTORi (aHR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.45-1.35; P = 0.365). At 90 d, although higher risk of death was confirmed in patients receiving MPA (aHR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.09-1.98; P = 0.013), a reduced risk was observed in patients receiving mTORi (aHR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.35-0.97; P = 0.04) compared with AZA.
    Conclusions: This national cohort data suggest that, in KTRs receiving calcineurin inhibitor and diagnosed with COVID-19, the use of MPA was associated with higher risk of death, whereas mTORi use was associated with lower risk of death.

    Abstract Data from the general population suggest that fatality rates declined during the course of the pandemic. This analysis, using data extracted from the Brazilian Kidney Transplant COVID-19 Registry, seeks to determine fatality rates over time since the index case on March 3rd, 2020. Data from hospitalized patients with RT-PCR positive SARS-CoV-2 infection from March to August 2020 (35 sites, 878 patients) were compared using trend tests according to quartiles (Q1: <72 days; Q2: 72-104 days; Q3: 105-140 days; Q4: >140 days after the index case). The 28-day fatality decreased from 29.5% (Q1) to 18.8% (Q4) (
