Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective observational study in which all deceased donor kidney transplant recipients were included. Relevant data for analyses included clinical and demographic features, laboratory values, number of HLA matches, occurrence of delayed graft function, cold ischemia time, and survival status. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards analysis were performed to determine the effects of monocyte-tohigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio on all-cause mortality. Results: Our study included 325 deceased donor kidney transplant recipients (43.1% females, mean age of 44.5 +/- 11.2 years). Median value of monocyte-tohigh-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio was 14.0 (interquartile range, 9.94-21.03). The total median observation time was 227 weeks (range, 115-345 weeks). Twenty deaths (12.3%) occurred during the follow-up period in recipients with monocyte-to-highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol ratio below median value, whereas 47 deaths (29%) occurred in recipients with ratio above the median (P < .001). Log-rank test showed significantly higher mortality in the group with monocyte-to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio higher than median (P = .001). In the multivariate Cox model, delayed graft function, duration of dialysis, cold ischemia time, and monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio group appeared as independent predictors of all-cause mortality. Conclusions: Monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio before kidney transplant seems to affect survival independently in deceased donor kidney transplant recipients.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCardiovascular eventsDyslipidemiaRejectionDiseaseMarkerCardiovascular diseaseDyslipidemiaRenal transplantScience & technologyLife sciences & biomedicineTransplantationMonocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio is independently associated with all-cause mortality in deceased donor kidney transplant recipientsArticle00070914590000510411047191010.6002/ect.2021.00242146-8427
