Cover Story: Simultaneous liver–kidney (SLK) transplant recipients are considered at lower immunologic risk than kidney-alone recipients, so steroid-only induction is often used. However, some centers continue to include basiliximab induction in their protocols. This study compared graft and infectious outcomes in SLK recipients receiving basiliximab (Bas) induction versus those without basiliximab (No Bas). Methods: Using TriNetX, we conducted a retrospective, propensity-score-matched study of SLK recipients comparing 3-, 6-, and 12-month graft and infectious outcomes. Patients receiving alemtuzumab or anti-thymocyte globulin were excluded; steroid induction was permitted but not required in either cohort. View this paper
