Table 2: Falls and Aging Metrics Among Kidney Transplant (KT) Candidates (n=3666) and Recipients (n=770).
At the time of evaluation and at the time of KT, falls in the past 6 months were reported and aging metrics were collected.
| Aging Metric | No Falls | Single Fall | Recurrent Falls |
|---|---|---|---|
| Falls = 0 | Falls = 1 | Falls ≥ 2 | |
| PR (95% CI) | PR (95% CI) | ||
| KT candidates | |||
| Frailty | Ref | 1.36 (1.12, 1.64) | 1.90 (1.58, 2.29) |
| Lower extremity impairment | Ref | 1.40 (1.24, 1.58) | 1.75 (1.56, 1.96) |
| Poor HRQOL | Ref | 1.18 (1.05, 1.32) | 1.48 (1.32, 1.64) |
| KT recipients | |||
| Frailty | Ref | 1.67 (1.02, 2.74) | 2.04 (1.20, 3.45) |
| Lower extremity impairment | Ref | 1.35 (1.02, 1.78) | 1.36 (0.95, 1.94) |
| Poor HRQOL | Ref | 1.08 (0.64, 1.83) | 0.85 (0.44, 1.62) |
For transplant candidates, models are adjusted for age, sex, race, time on dialysis, BMI, and Cause of ESKD; for transplant recipients, models are adjusted for age, sex, race, time on dialysis, BMI, Cause of ESKD and donor type
