Stijn van de Laar

Stijn van de Laar is a Researcher in the Department of Surgery at Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, specializing in kidney transplantation with emphasis on living donor programs and cold ischemia time effects. His work directly impacts clinical protocols for kidney exchange systems and donor management.

Primary research areas include graft survival analysis, delayed graft function mitigation, and health-related quality of life assessment for living kidney donors. Methodologically, he employs systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and advanced statistical techniques like propensity score matching to evaluate transplant outcomes across international cohorts.

Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal consistent focus on optimizing living donor transplantation through national exchange programs and ischemia time management. His studies in journals like Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology demonstrate translational impact on surgical practice and donor care standards.
