Modern immunosuppressant regimens have significantly decreased acute rejection rates, but may have increased the risk of graft loss driven by adverse drug reactions (ADRs) and medication errors (MEs). The objectives of this study were to determine the incidence and risk factors for MEs and ADRs and determine the association between transplant outcomes and these events.
