Abstract
This retrospective study analyzed the incidence and risk factors for obesity in a large (n=410), single center cohort of pediatric solid-organ transplant recipients, who received their first transplant between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2011 (median transplant age 8.9 years; median follow-up time 3.6 years). Within 5-years post-transplant, 1:4 developed obesity with higher risk in those: overweight at transplant, age < 5 at transplant, kidney transplant recipients, and higher cumulative prednisone exposure.
