“…In one study kidneys are described as having been allocated in a random fashion to preservation modality, but no further details are given, there is no suggestion that pairs of kidneys were split between modalities and the numbers in each treatment group are very dissimilar. 34 There are 18 reports of studies in which the kidneys from a single donor were split, one being preserved by MP and the other by CS. In three of these, [35][36][37] the allocation within pairs is said to have been random.…”

“…The reports which were included in the final analysis were the one study with randomisation of donors, 33 the one with randomisation of kidneys 34 and the 18 reports in which donor kidney pairs were split and one allocated to each preservation modality. Of these, there are two sets of three, by Marshall, and colleagues [39][40][41] and Matsuno and colleagues 37,42,43 which appear to relate to the same study.…”

“…There is also heterogeneity with respect to whether or not the study was restricted to first transplants, 13 or whether subsequent transplants were also included. 14,34,35,40,50 In most cases, this is not stated.…”

“…37 Earlier studies used cryoprecipitated plasma as a perfusate, 13,37,40,44,45 while later ones used plasma protein fraction, 38,46 silica-gel plasma perfusate, 14,35,36 plasmanate, 33,34,51 5% albumin 33 or UW gluconate (Viaspan). 50 (Van der Vliet and colleagues 51 reported using 'Belzer solution'.…”

“…37,40,51 Five studies explicitly stated that the kidneys came from HBDs, 13,34,35,48,49 and the remainder did not specify whether the donors were heart beating or not. It is likely that in all such cases they were HBDs, with the possible exception Information on the length of preservation time is available in 11 studies.…”

Health Technol Assess 2003;7(25). Health Technology Assessment is indexed in Criteria for inclusion in the HTA monograph seriesReports are published in the HTA monograph series if (1) they have resulted from work commissioned for the HTA Programme, and (2) they are of a sufficiently high scientific quality as assessed by the referees and editors.Reviews in Health Technology Assessment are termed 'systematic' when the account of the search, appraisal and synthesis methods (to minimise biases and random errors) would, in theory, permit the replication of the review by others. O2Objectives: To evaluate the clinical and costeffectiveness of machine perfusion (MP) compared to cold storage (CS), as a means of preserving kidneys prior to transplantation. Transplantation of kidneys from both heart-beating donors (HBDs) and non-heartbeating donors (NHBDs) is considered. Finally to review whether the use of MP can allow valid testing of kidney viability prior to transplantation. Data sources: Fifteen electronic bibliographic databases were searched.
