This study aimed to investigate the effects of documentation status on pediatric kidney transplant outcomes in a single-center setting, emphasizing the significance of state insurance access for undocumented patients and federal policies like Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) on patient outcomes. A cohort of 283 patients, including 48 undocumented individuals, who received their first kidney transplant as children between 1998 and 2011 was analyzed. There was no significant difference in unadjusted all-cause (P = .91) and death-censored (P = .38) graft survival between undocumented patients and patients with permanent legal status, subsequently referred to as US residents. Additionally, in the Cox proportional hazards model, immigration status was not significantly associated with all-cause graft survival (hazard ratio 0.87, 95% CI 0.51-1.46, P = .6). Telephone interviews were conducted with the undocumented cohort. Forty-one of 48 of the undocumented recipients were contacted. Ninety-five percent had access to insurance with 68.3% on Medicaid or Medicare. DACA recipients exhibited higher employment rates (88% vs 67%, P = .11) and were more likely to complete a degree beyond high school (47.1% vs 12.5%, P = .01). Immigration status did not impact long-term graft survival, suggesting eligibility expansions for state-funded insurance and DACA may improve access to transplant care for undocumented patients. Moreover, DACA recipients showed trends toward increased employment and education compared to non-DACA recipients.
