Popis: A small pediatric deceased donor (SPD) weight cutoff whether to transplant as en bloc (EB) or single pediatric (SP) kidney is uncertain. Using UNOS/OPTN data (2000-2019), 27 875 SPDs were divided by (i) EB (11.4%) or SP (88.6%) and (ii) donor weight [≤10 (5.4%),10-15 (8.3%),15-18 (3.7%),18-20 (2.9%), and20 kg (79.7%)]. SP20 kg and adult deceased donors (grouped by Kidney Donor Profile Index, KDPI,30, 30-85, and85) were used as references. The primary outcome was 10-year graft failure. In SP10 kg, the hazard ratio (HR) for overall graft failure was 1.64 (1.38-2.20) compared with EB10 kg, and 1.45 (1.18-1.80) compared with SP20 kg. In SP10-15 kg, HR was 1.31 (1.12-1.54) compared with EB10-15 kg, and 1.04 (0.91-1.18) compared with SP20 kg. In SP15 kg, the risk was the same as SP20 kg. Ten-year overall graft survival of SP 12 kg was comparable to SP20 kg (62% vs. 57%). Ten-year death censored graft failure of SP10-15 kg (70%) and SP15-18 kg (70%) was like the adult donors with KDPI 30-85 (67%). In conclusion, we recommend single kidney transplants from SPDs with weight12 kg to adult recipients in centers with experience in SPD transplants to optimize organ utilization.
