CI, confidence interval; DSA, donor-specific antibody; HLA, human leukocyte antigen; HR, hazard ratio; MFI, mean fluorescence intensity; N/A, not applicable.
= the log of the HR values.
For categorical variables with more than 2 levels, e.g., IFTA score, the contribution of the variables was calculated as follows: β1x1 + β 2x2. If the IFTA score = 0 or 1, then x1 = 0 and x2 = 0. If the IFTA score = 2, then x1 = 1 and x2 = 0. If the IFTA score = 3, then x1 = 0 and x2 = 1. β1 and β2 refer to the beta coefficients for the IFTA scores = 2 and 3, respectively.
