Summary: | The present report updates the clinical characteristics and outcomes of heart transplant in Spain to 2018.
Prospective registry of all the heart transplants performed between 1984 and 2018 in Spain. Specifically, temporal trends in clinical characteristics and outcomes are described for the period from 2009 to 2017.
In 2018, 321 transplants were performed (8494 since 1984; 2719 between 2009 and 2018). Compared with the previous year, the number of transplants performed in 2018 rose by 52% in recipients younger than 16 years and by 42% in those older than 60 years. In the last decade, significant temporal trends were observed in recipient characteristics (better pretransplant renal function, higher rates of diabetes, more urgent transplants, and greater use of pretrasplant circulatory support, particularly ventricular assist devices), donor characteristics (higher donor age, more female donors, and higher frequencies of cerebrovascular cause of death and predonation cardiac arrest and lower ischemia time). Survival significantly improved in the last decade, mainly due to lower mortality due to primary graft failure.
The number of heart transplants is increasing in Spain, with a progressive improvement in survival.
Se presentan las características clínicas y los resultados de los trasplantes cardiacos realizados en España con la actualización correspondiente a 2018.
Registro prospectivo de todos los pacientes trasplantados en España entre 1984 y 2018, con un análisis específico de las tendencias temporales de las características clínicas y los resultados del periodo 2009-2017.
En 2018 se realizaron 321 trasplantes (8.494 desde 1984; 2.719 entre 2009 y 2018). Con respecto al año previo, en 2018 los trasplantes han aumentado un 52% en receptores menores de 16 años y un 42% en mayores de 60. En la última década, existen tendencias temporales significativas que apuntan a una mejor función renal previa al trasplante, más receptores diabéticos, más trasplantes urgentes, mayor uso de asistencia circulatoria antes del trasplante (particularmente con dispositivos de asistencia ventricular), mayor edad de los donantes, más donantes mujeres, más donantes fallecidos de accidente cerebrovascular y con parada cardiaca antes de la donación y menor tiempo de isquemia. Se observa una mejora significativa en la supervivencia en la última década, mediada fundamentalmente por una menor mortalidad por fallo primario del injerto.
