Intervention(s)

In addition to routine care, the patients receive the following interventions that are not included in routine care:

Case management:
This takes place over two years and involves continuous organization of KTX related health care by a case manager.

Psychosocial assessments:
These take place twice yearly over two years and involve assessment of adherence in personal interviews using the Basel Assessment of Adherence with Immunosuppressive Medication Scale (BAASIS©). A collaborative rather than confrontational interview style will be used in order to elicit honest replies and to avoid social desirability. We will assess the following potential barriers of adherence using established instruments: cognitive dysfunctions, lack of resources, lack of knowledge regarding IS, experience of adverse events, mental disorders, psychological distress, low quality of life, and low social support.

Psychococial intervention:
Patients in need of more information about IS will be referred to an educational group offered by the case manager. Patients can also be referred to a psychologist within the psychosocial team who will offer up to eight treatment sessions per year without waiting period. This intervention can be conducted face-to-face or over the internet and will deal with psychosocial correlates of non-adherence (e.g., social or work problems, psychological distress) and offer behavioral interventions.

Cardiovascular assessment:
This takes place twice yearly over two years and involves a physical examination and an incremental exercise testing on an ergometer including blood lactate measurements for determination of cardiovascular and
Primary Outcome(s)
Health care costs due to hospitalization are measured using health insurance data at end of all interventions (12 or 24 months).
Secondary Outcome(s)

In all patients all endpoints will be evaluated 24 months after study start, taking into account that some patients will only have 12 months of interventions.

1. Adherence for outpatient visits is measured by actual visits/scheduled visits at end of all interventions
2. Adherence to immunosuppressive therapy is measured by BAASIS-Scale at each psychosocial assessment
3. Cardiovascular fitness and stabilization of weight is measured by different parameters at each CV-assessment
4. Quality of life is measured by Peds-QL and/or SF35 at each psychosocial assessment
5. Implementation of an internet-based case file including all sectors of care is assessed using case file at end of all interventions
6. Implementation and acceptance of telemedicine visits are measured using case file at end of all interventions
