Overall summary: Pre-transplant SIPAT score not associated with post-transplant mortality or graft loss (across organ transplants); possible association between high risk SIPAT score and non-adherence. Psychoticism on Eysneck Personality

Questionnaire associated with higher risk of graft failure.

Higher titers with 3 or 4 pre-Txp doses than with 2, but underpowered so nonsignificant. Vaccination during dialysis prior to transplantation led to positive responses and greater survival post-transplant.

Overall summary: Pre-transplantation vaccination for HBV and measles is successful to maintain post-

transplantation immunity. Three or four HBV doses may be more effective than only two.

None Very low Studies inconsistent about risk of graft loss among HIV+ vs. HIV- with HR ranging from 0.60 to 1.96

Critical

Overall summary: Unclear whether HIV status associated with post-transplantation death or graft loss.

Quality of Overall Evidence: Very Low

Studies included in EP: PMID 26765937; PMID 25807035; PMID 15153575; PMID 24621536; PMID 25098499; PMID 25791727; PMID 27305590 Abbreviations: HIV = human immunodeficiency virus, HR = hazard ratio. * It is unknown whether results were based on multivariate analysis (and the covariates). Some studies have relatively short length of follow-up (shorter than three years in two studies for each outcome respectively).

Overall summary: Evidence does not directly address whether ADPKD patients benefit from intracranial testing for aneurysms. Data on death from intracranial bleeding and on rate of aneurysm rupture are inconsistent. Possibly patients ≤45 years

old are very unlikely to have aneurysm. Some evidence that aneurysms rarely change over time,

Overall summary: Antithrombotic factors are not predictors of post-transplantation death or graft loss. Except that patients with antiphospholipid Ab

syndrome who do not receive pre-transplantation anti-coagulation are at high risk of graft loss.
