METHODS Data on 2371 first-time adult kidney transplant (KT) recipients were collected to analyze the "early" (≤30 days) and "late" (31-365 days) HR patterns after KT at a single center over a 12-year time span (2002-2013). RESULTS 30-day, 90-day, and 1-year HR were 31%, 41%, and 53%, respectively. Risk factors for HR included age >50, female sex, black race, BMI >30, transplant LOS >5 days, and pre-transplant time on dialysis >765 days. Indications for early (n = 749) and late (n = 508) HR were similar. Early HR (OR 3.80, P = .007) and black race (OR 2.38, P = .009) were associated with higher odds of 1-year graft failure while frequency (1-2, 3-4, 5+) of HR (ORs 4.68, 8.36, 9.44, P 5 days increased both odds of 1-year graft failure (OR 3.51, P = .001) and mortality (OR 2.05, P = .006). One-year graft and recipient survival were 96.7% and 94.8%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Hospital readmission was associated with reduced graft and patient survival; however, despite a relatively high and consistent HR rate after KT, overall 1-year graft and patient survival was high. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

OBJECTIVES To analyze data on skin disease in the Finnish Register of Occupational Diseases (FROD) for (1) different diagnoses and (2) main causes of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD). METHODS We retrieved data on recognized cases with occupational skin disease (OSD) in the FROD from a 12-year-period 2005-2016 and used national official labor force data of the year 2012. RESULTS We analyzed a total of 5265 cases, of which 42% had irritant contact dermatitis (ICD), 35% ACD, 11% contact urticaria/protein contact dermatitis (CU/PCD), and 9% skin infec
