Brief Summary: For children who develop graft failure following cardiac transplantation retransplantation is often considered While some centers have reported equivalent results for retransplantation as compared to primary transplantation this strategy remains controversial We seek to examine outcomes following re-transplantation in children and identify risk factors for mortality In addition adult African-Americans have been reported to have lower survival following heart and other solid-organ transplantation The relationship of recipient race to survival following pediatric heart transplantation has not previously been reported
Detailed Description: Objective 1 For children who develop graft failure following cardiac transplantation retransplantation is often considered While some centers have reported equivalent results for retransplantation as compared to primary transplantation this strategy remains controversial We seek to examine outcomes following re-transplantation in children and identify risk factors for mortality

Objective 2 Adult African-Americans have been reported to have lower survival following heart and other solid-organ transplantation The relationship of recipient race to survival following pediatric heart transplantation has not previously been reported

Methods We would like to review the United Network for Organ Sharing database We plan on reviewing database records of heart transplantation subjects 18 years of age from 1987 to 2004 Indications for retransplantation and patient race characteristics will be collected and evaluated Analysis will be performed using proportional hazards regression controlling for other potential risk factors The contribution economic disparity insurance status and HLA mismatching to disparities in outcome will also be explored
