Effects of Clean Intermittent Catheterization on Adherence in Pediatric Renal Transplant Patients

Key Points

Non-adherence is significantly higher in pediatric kidney transplant patients requiring clean intermittent catheterization.
The study highlights that early identification of adherence risk factors is crucial for effective intervention planning.
Through its unique insights, the research underscores the need to accommodate catheterization requirements in clinical care strategy.
The findings indicate a pressing need for tailored interventions to enhance patient adherence among young transplant candidates.

Abstract

This study differs from existing literature as it explores the relationship between bladder catheterization requirement and patient adherence in kidney transplant candidates. Kidney transplant recipients that perform CIC were found to be at higher risk of non-adherence and should be accommodated for in the clinical setting. These data also support existing literature that identifies the increased risk for non-adherence in adolescent transplant candidates. By identifying adherence risk factors, early interventions can be applied to help optimize adherence.
