Analysis of factors affecting employment status of kidney transplant recipients in selected European union member states

Original language description

Despite an increasing quality of life after renal transplantation, the number of recipients undertaking paid professional work remains relatively low. Employment after kidney transplantation became a new important marker of clinically significant health recovery. Furthermore, for social and economic reasons, returning to work and participation in social life may be considered as an objective parameter that demonstrate the effectiveness of transplantation. The objectives of the following study were to evaluate the factors that determine resuming paid work after renal trans-plantation, to assess a patient’s decision about returning to professional activity by comparative analysis of renal transplant recipients from Poland, Czech Republic and Germany, and to identify groups of patients exposed to professional exclusion in those EU countries. Five hundred renal transplant recipients from three EU countries were included into the study. The two main research methods used in the study were the SF-36 questionnaire, constructed and validated to assess the quality of life after kidney transplantation and a questionnaire constructed for the purposes of this study. Multifactorial analysis identified several risk factors associated with professional exclusions after kidney transplantation, namely young or advanced age, female gender, lack of education, place of residence in rural areas, long period of illness, and lack of occupational activity before transplantation. Despite the high standards of social care and rehabilitation support, patients in Germany failed to take up professional activity after kidney transplantation in more cases than those in Poland and Czech Republic. Surprisingly, the objective function of the kidney (creatinine level) and the multidimensional assessment of quality of life (SF-36 survey) did not have a significant association with the employment status after renal transplantation. © 2021 by the authors.
