RCT | No change in delayed graft function with normothermic perfusion vs. cold storage in kidney transplants
13 Jun, 2023 | 14:00h | UTC
Commentary on Twitter
In an open-label, randomized controlled trial, normothermic machine perfusion of kidneys from donation after circulatory death was found to be feasible and safe but did not reduce the rate of delayed graft function compared to static cold storage. https://t.co/faaAzK3bpc pic.twitter.com/iL7Je7Z7jO

These data not persuasive. There are 6 different arms. 3 drugs. This is not the primary endpoint. No adjustment for multiple testing.
