Methods
We studied adult heart transplant recipients from the Organ Procurement
and Transplantation Network database (1987-2018). Kaplan-Meier survival
analysis was performed to determine annual probabilities of developing
DNM, excluding squamous and basal cell carcinoma. Rates were compared to
the general population in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End
Results database. Cox proportional hazards regression was performed to
calculate hazard ratios for risk factors of DNM development, all-cause,
and cancer-specific mortality.
