Study Summary

The Canadian Australasian Randomized Trial of Screening Kidney Transplant Candidates for Coronary Artery Disease (CARSK) will test the hypothesis that eliminating the regular use of non-invasive screening tests for CAD AFTER waitlist activation is not inferior to regular (i.e., annual) screening for CAD during wait-listing for the prevention of Major Adverse Cardiac Events. Secondary analyses will assess the impact of screening on the rate of transplantation, and the relative cost-effectiveness of screening.

Primary Outcome

Primary efficacy: major adverse cardiac event (MACE), defined as any of the following: cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, emergency revascularisation, hospitalisation with unstable angina. The outcome will be assessed by: 1. Notification to the transplant coordinators when patients are admitted in hospital (this is the usual standard of care in waitlisted patients). 2. The trial coordinator will gather electronic medical records, letters, procedure notes, and will fill in the relevan
