Abstract

Solid organ transplant recipients (SOTR) with pretransplant malignancies (PTM) have worse overall survival (OS) compared to recipients without history of malignancy. However, it is unknown whether the increased risk of mortality is due to recurrent cancer-related deaths. All SOTR in Ontario between 1991 and 2010 were identified and matched 1:2 to recipients without PTM using a propensity score. OS was compared using the Kaplan-Meier estimator and Cox proportional hazard models. For cancer-specific mortality and cancer recurrence, cause-specific hazard models were used and the cumulative incidence was plotted. Recipients with PTM had a worse OS compared to recipients without PTM (median OS: 10.3 versus 13.4 years). Recipients with PTM were not only at increased risk of cancer-specific mortality (CSHR:1.85 [95%CI: 1.20, 2.86]) but also at increased risk of noncancer death (CSHR:1.29 [95%CI: 1.08, 1.54]). Compared to recipients without PTM, recipients with high-risk PTM had higher all-cause mortality (HR:1.81 [95%CI: 1.47, 2.23]). Recipients with low-risk PTM were not at increased risk (HR:1.06 [95%CI: 0.86, 1.31]). Recipients with PTM are at increased risk of all-cause mortality compared to recipients without PTM. This increased risk was noted for both cancer-specific and noncancer mortality. However, only those with high-risk PTM had worse outcomes.

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 June 2019.
All research outputs
#2,054,141
of 15,399,564 outputs
Outputs from Transplantation
#332
of 6,066 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#58,344
of 279,669 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Transplantation
#8
of 45 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 15,399,564 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 85th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,066 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 279,669 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 45 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 82% of its contemporaries.
