While a kidney transplant helps people feel better and live longer, individuals must attend lifelong, regular check-ups with doctors specializing in kidney transplantation. These doctors make sure the transplanted kidney is working and handle complex medical issues related to the kidney transplant.<\/p>\n<p>In Canada, more people than ever live with kidney transplants. While this is great news, it also means more people with a kidney transplant need life-long follow-up care. However, many transplant clinics are already very busy. With only six transplant centres in Ontario, some patients must travel hundreds of kilometers to receive their care. For patients in Northern Ontario, attending these visits may be particularly expensive and difficult.<\/p>\n<p>The overall goal of our work is to generate evidence to improve the delivery of patient-centred post-transplant kidney care in Ontario. Specifically, this study will help us understand:<\/p>\n<p>1) Where patients currently receive their post-transplant follow-up visits;<\/p>\n<p>2) How often these visits occur;<\/p>\n<p>3) Distance travelled for post-transplant visits;<\/p>\n<p>4) Personal travel cost to attend these visits (e.g., driving expenses);<\/p>\n<p>5) Estimated number of post-transplant clinic visits over the next 10 years; and<\/p>\n<p>6) How a new post-transplant funding model introduced in 2024 has changed the frequency of post-transplant visits.<\/p>\n<p>Results will provide the information needed to help healthcare leaders improve post-transplant follow-up care for kidney transplant recipients, including planning future models of care in Ontario and beyond.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/announcing-the-results-of-the-2026-cdtrp-research-innovation-grant-competition-7-new-projects-funded\/\"><strong>View the results of the 2026 CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition.<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"30px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/cdtrp-innovation-grant-winners\/\">View past CDTRP Innovation Grants recipients here.<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":34816,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34813","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34813","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34813"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34813\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":34823,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34813\/revisions\/34823"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34813"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34813"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34813"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
