OPTN/SRTR 2020 Annual Data Report: Intestine
Abstract
Despite small increases in additions to the intestine transplant waitlist, total waitlist numbers, overall intestine transplant rates, and overall transplants performed from 2019 to 2020, the trend over the last decade is still toward less intestine transplant activity. Waitlist mortality continues to fall for pediatric populations and is relatively stable for adults. While 1-year graft survival continues to improve, there has been no noticeable improvement in 3- and 5-year graft survival. Immunosuppression practices continue to favor use of an induction agent followed by tacrolimus-based regimens. Patient survival at 5 years is currently identical for isolated intestines and liver-inclusive allograft recipients.
Introduction
Clinical intestine transplant has been a reality for around 30 years and, as availability and outcomes have improved, the number of candidates and transplants steadily increased through the 1990s and early 2000s. The emergence of intestinal rehabilitation as a specific subspecialty, in large part due to the successes of intestinal transplant programs, has demonstrated that all but the most severe cases of intestinal failure can be managed with minimal mortality, short of transplant. However, intestine transplant alone or in combination with liver transplant and, potentially, other abdominal organs can be life sustaining and offers real improvements to the quality of life for many individuals.
Nonetheless, the trend for the last 12 or 13 years has been toward fewer listings and transplants, most notably, but not uniquely, among pediatric age-groups. It seems likely that these numbers will stabilize at some point, but with advances in intestinal failure care and no noticeable improvement in post-intestine transplant conditional graft survival beyond 1 year, the number of intestine transplants each year may decline further still.
The number of intestine transplants in adults now consistently exceeds that in infants, children, and adolescents, and the number of candidate listings for adults is approaching that of the pediatric candidates. Overall, there has been no change in the indications for intestine transplant, but even among those listed for transplant, medical care seems to be influential in that, despite increasing wait times, waitlist mortality continues to fall, again most notably for children.
Information on the waiting list, transplants, and outcomes is presented for both types of transplants, referred to as intestine-liver and intestine transplants, respectively. Both types include multivisceral transplants, distinguished by inclusion or exclusion of liver.
Waiting List
The number of additions to the intestine transplant waitlist in 2020 (144) increased over the previous year (103); however, the trend over the last decade has been toward fewer additions overall. The proportion of candidates listed for intestine with liver (80) or isolated intestine (64) remains relatively constant (Figure IN 1). Among the 370 prevalent patients on the waiting list at the end of 2020, 192 (51.9%) were waiting for intestine and 178 (48.1%) for intestine-liver transplant (Figure IN 2). The shift to an increasing proportion of adult candidates for intestine transplant compared with candidates younger than 18 continues; in 2020, 56.5% of candidates on the intestine waiting list were younger than 18, and adults accounted for 43.5% of the list (Figure IN 3). The racial/ethnic distribution remained relatively consistent over time; White patients represented 59% of those waiting for an intestine transplant in 2020 (Figure IN 5). The most common etiology of intestinal failure remained short-gut syndrome (SGS; >57%), which encompasses both congenital and non-congenital SGS, as well as necrotizing enterocolitis and, probably, a large proportion of the other/unknown group (Figure IN 6). Enteropathies and intestinal pseudo-obstruction syndromes are rare and account for less than 10% of all indications for listing for intestine transplant (Figure IN 6).
Characteristics of intestine and intestine-liver candidates on the waiting list at the end of 2020 were similar with respect to race and age; most were younger than 18 years and White (Table IN 1), but pediatric patients were more likely to be listed for intestine alone, whereas adults were more likely to be listed for combined intestine and liver. Intestine transplant candidates were 54.8% female, and intestine-liver candidates were 44.3% female. Considering disease etiology, congenital and non-congenital SGS were the leading causes of disease among intestine and intestine-liver transplant candidates (Table IN 2). Prevalent intestine-liver candidates had a medical urgency of Status 1 more often than intestine candidates (54.7% vs 35.7%; Table IN 2), and if listed for retransplant, most were listed for a liver-containing allograft (Table IN 3).
Although the largest proportion of candidates were on the waitlist for less than 90 days, this proportion has fallen over the decade, and 36% of listed patients remain on the waitlist for more than 2 years (Figure IN 7). The overall intestine transplant rate halved, from a peak of 80 transplants per 100 waitlist years in 2009 to 40 transplants per 100 waitlist years by 2012, and has remained around this level in recent years (Figure IN 9). Rates varied by candidate age and were lowest for those younger than 18 years (23.5 per 100 waitlist years) (Figure IN 10). Transplant rates are similar by transplant type (intestine, intestine-liver) (Figure IN 12).
Of the 88 candidates removed from the isolated intestine waiting list in 2020, 46 (52.3%) underwent deceased donor transplant, 4 (4.5%) died, 22 (25.0%) were removed from the list because their condition improved, and 2 (2.2%) were considered too sick to undergo transplant. No intestine transplants used a living donor allograft (Table IN 4, Table IN 5). Of outcomes for candidates listed for intestine transplant without liver in 2017, 69.4% underwent deceased donor transplant within three years, 3.4% died, 13.0% were removed from the list, and 14.2% were still waiting in 2020 (Figure IN 13). Likewise, 64 candidates were removed from the intestine-liver waiting list in 2020: 44 (68.8%) underwent deceased donor transplant, 9 (14.1%) died, 3 (4.7%) were removed from the list because their condition improved, and 3 (4.7%) were considered too sick to undergo transplant (Table IN 4, Table IN 5). Of intestine-liver candidates listed in 2017, 61.7% underwent deceased donor transplant within 3 years, 15.6% were removed from the list, 11.5% died, and 11.2% were still waiting in 2020 (Figure IN 14). Among candidates listed for intestine-liver transplant, median time to transplant saw a sizable increase, from 5.6 months for those listed in 2017-2018 to 13.5 for candidates listed in 2019-2020, whereas for isolated intestine candidates, the wait time for transplant was similar to that of previous eras, at 8.4 months (Figure IN 15).
The overall pretransplant mortality for intestinal transplant candidates was 6.5 deaths per 100 waitlist years in 2020 (Figure IN 16), and rates varied by age. Among candidates on the waiting list in 2020, pretransplant mortality was higher for adults (15.1 deaths per 100 waitlist-years) than for children (1.9 deaths per 100 waitlist-years) (Figure IN 17). Pretransplant mortality was higher for intestine-liver (10.6 deaths per 100 waitlist years) than for intestine transplant candidates (3.0 deaths per 100 waitlist years) (Figure IN 20).
Donation
Ninety-four intestines were recovered from deceased donors in 2020 (Figure IN 22). The highest proportion of intestine donors in 2020 were younger than 18 years (58.5%) (Figure IN 24). Most intestine donors were White (60.6%) (Figure IN 26). The overall rate of intestines recovered for transplant and not transplanted was 3.2% in 2020 (Figure IN 27). The most common cause of death among deceased intestine donors has always been head trauma, but in 2020, head trauma and anoxia each were the cause of death in 42.6% of intestine donors (Figure IN 29).
Transplant
The 91 intestine transplants performed in 2020 represented a small rise from 81 in 2019 (Figure IN 30), with 50 intestine-alone and 41 liver-inclusive transplants (Figure IN 31). The number of centers performing intestine transplants has remained relatively stable over the past decade (Figure IN 39). The median annual program volume was 3.5 intestine transplants in 2020; the 95th percentile of program volume was 18 transplants (Figure IN 40). In 2020, only slightly over half of intestine transplant programs performed 10 or more transplants per year, 40% performed three to nine transplants per year, and 9% of programs performed one or two transplant per year (Figure IN 41).
Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, pediatric recipients of intestine transplants outnumbered adults; however, in the last decade, there were more adult recipients than children and adolescent recipients. Pediatric recipient counts declined from 94 in 2009 to 34 in 2020, while adult recipient counts only fell from 85 to 57 (Figure IN 32). In 2020, just over half of intestine-liver recipients were younger than 18 years (51.2% vs. 26.0% of intestine recipients) (Table IN 6). SGS was the main cause of disease leading to both intestine and intestine-liver transplant (Table IN 7). Most recipients of intestine-containing allografts in 2020 waited less than a year from listing to transplant (84% of intestine recipients and 78% of intestine-liver recipients) (Table IN 8).
Immunosuppression
Over the last decade, induction immunosuppression has been used in most intestine transplants (Figure IN 36). Tacrolimus remains the mainstay for maintenance immunosuppression, used in at least 73% of recipients, combined with corticosteroids (37.4%), mycophenolate mofetil (6.6%), or both (29.7%) (Figure IN 37).
Outcomes
For isolated intestine transplants, the clear trend over the last decade is toward improving 6- and 12-month graft survival. For transplants in 2019, only 3.3% of grafts had failed by 6 months and 6.7% by 1 year compared to 23.8% and 31.7% of transplants in 2009. However, such improvement has not been seen in 3- and 5-year graft failure, which remains consistently around 40% and 50%, respectively (Figure IN 42). Among intestine-liver transplant recipients, 42.1% had graft failure at 6 months and 47.4% at 1 year in 2019, 55.2% at 3 years in 2017, 69.0% at 5 years in 2015, and 75% at 10 years in 2010; there has been no consistent improvement in graft survival over the last 10 years for liver-inclusive allografts (Figure IN 43). For intestine transplants with or without a liver in 2013-2015, 1- and 5-year graft survival was 72.8% and 44.8%, respectively, for recipients 18 years or older and 76.0% and 61.3% for those younger than 18 years (Figure IN 44). One- and 5-year graft survival was 77.7% and 48.9%, respectively, for intestine recipients and 70.6% and 53.2%, respectively, for intestine-liver recipients (Figure IN 45). The number of recipients alive with a functioning intestine graft continued to increase, to 1217 on June 30, 2020, although we may be seeing a plateau, with essentially stable numbers of extant recipients in all groups but isolated intestine recipients younger than 18 years (Figure IN 47).
The incidence of first acute rejection in the first year posttransplant varied by age-group and transplant type. Among recipients in 2018-2019, incidence of acute rejection was highest in adult intestine recipients (41.2%) and lowest in adult intestine-liver recipients (35.4%) (Figure IN 48). For recipients in 2008-2018, 8.7% of intestine recipients (Figure IN 50) and 8% of intestine-liver recipients (Figure IN 51) developed posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorder within 5 years posttransplant, and rates varied by recipient and Epstein-Barr virus serostatus at transplant. Patient survival at 1 year for transplants in 2013-2015 was higher for recipients of an intestine alone (83.7% vs 75.6% for intestine-liver); however, by 5 years, the patient survival was identical, at 58.7% for both allograft types (Figure IN 52).
