Bridging Oceans and Distance: Excellent Long‐Term Outcomes in Non‐Mainland Kidney Transplantation

Key Points

• To evaluate the long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation (KT) using kidneys from non-mainland (NM) donors.
• Analysis of long-term kidney transplant outcomes
• Assessment of event-free survival rates
• Comparison of outcomes based on donor distance and cold ischemia time.
• Improved event-free survival observed at 10 years post-transplant
• Successful outcomes despite longer distances from NM donors
• Encouragement for increased utilization of NM kidney donors.
