OBJECTIVE: To determine the degree of compliance with sunscreen use among renal transplant recipients before and after transplantation and to determine risk factors associated with @entity105 . DESIGN: Single-observer study with structured interview using a standardized questionnaire. Medical records and histology reports were examined for details of prior @entity1489 . Cox proportional hazards regression was used for analysis of risk factors for developing @entity1489 after transplantation. SETTING: @entity1 attending Beaumont Hospital, the national renal transplantation center in Dublin, Ireland. @entity1 : The study population comprised 270 @entity1 (182 male and 88 female). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: @entity1 ' use of sunscreens before and after transplantation relative to known @entity1489 risk factors and subsequent @entity105 . RESULTS: Prior to transplantation, 68.5% of @entity1 never applied sunscreen on a sunny day compared with 25.9% after transplantation. @entity1 50 years or younger were more likely to always apply sunscreen both before and after transplantation (P = .01), as were female @entity1 prior to transplantation (P = .02). Those @entity1 who participated in an outdoor recreation were more likely to subsequently develop @entity1489 (P = .04), as were those older than 50 years (P<.001) and those with a history of 2 or more @entity158 (P = .03). CONCLUSIONS: Transplant recipients are poorly compliant with the use of sunscreens both before and after transplantation. Compliance is poorest in those groups at higher risk of @entity1489 .

Sunscreen use before and after transplantation and assessment of risk factors associated with XXXX development in renal transplant recipients.
