The document summarizes the results of a randomized controlled trial comparing hypothermic machine perfusion (MP) to static cold storage (CS) for preserving deceased donor kidneys intended for transplantation. The trial found that MP significantly reduced the risk of delayed graft function (DGF) compared to CS, with DGF occurring in 20.8% of kidneys in the MP arm versus 26.5% in the CS arm. One-year graft survival was also higher in the MP arm, and MP was found to be cost-effective compared to CS due to reductions in post-transplant dialysis and hospital readmissions.

Any difference between IF versus DGf versus PNF? PNF curve not on top of DGf curve as we would have expected! Cave only 6 PNF cases!!! ( 1 PNF Case cata not downloaded) Remember that for this Trial; we have only used kidneys which had already been accepted for transplantation based on donor characteristics, no matter what preservation method. This might be different for more extended criteria kidneys for which evolution on MP might be taken into account during the decision making proces. 2 reported cases to safety commitee: have been tranbsplanted : 1 PNF, 1 ??? Contralateral also perfused and OK: have been excluded from trial !!!
The incremental cost-effectiveness was expressed as the ratio of the difference in costs of both treatments over the difference in effects of both treatments, in this case the difference in graft survival after 1 year
This slide shows the most important unit costs used. Costs of hemodialysis were based on data from the NECOSAD study as reported by Merkus and De Wit. For peritoneal dialysis tariffs were used. Costs of complications were based on expert opinions regarding procedures performed. In case of DGF costs of a renogram, a renal ultrasound and a renal biopsy were added. In case of primary non-function, costs of graft removal were also included. For costs of hospital admission, Dutch standard prices were used.
Here you see the effects of imputation of costs of dialysis. Of the 23 subjects with PNF, 15 had missing data regarding dialysis. These caused average costs of 792 Euro in the MP arm and 1839 Euro in the CS arm. Of the subjects with graft failure other than PNF, 16 had missing data, leading to costs of approximately 100 Euro for MP and 1500 for CS. After addition of actual and imputed costs of dialysis, there is a big difference of about 1800 Euro in favour of MP. As a result, addition of the other unchanged cost items of preservation and graft failure management (ultrasound, biopsy etc) leaves a cost difference of 1250 Euro in favour of MP. Due to the fact that data regarding readmission were missing in a number of cases, the overall total cannot be calculated for all cases. For this reason, the last three numbers in both columns do not add up. The readmissions appeared to be missing especially in cases with PNF, causing the cost difference to diminish. However, the result is still a cost difference of almost 500 Euro.
