Abstract
Induction use has increased since 1999 and has not been associated with an increased risk of malignancy (predominantly PTLD) or overall infection. Because these adverse events occurred with higher rates in non-induced patients, it is likely that induction alone is not the primary risk determinant for PTLD and infection.
