N is the total number of individuals; n is the number of individuals with a KIR gene. MF; Multiorgan failure; S; Sepsis, GF; Graft failure. All comparisons were made using the 2-tailed Fisher’s exact test. a OR = 0.247; 95% CI: 0.082–0.744, p = 0.018; p value obtained by comparing MF KIR2DL2+ patients with GF KIR2DL2+ patients. b OR =2.986; 95% CI: 1.037–8.594, p = 0.047; p value obtained by comparing MF KIR2DS2+ patients with GF KIR2DS2+ patients. c OR = 4.041; 95% CI: 1.344–12.146, p = 0.018; p value obtained by comparing MF KIR2DS2+ patients with GF KIR2DS2+ patients.
