Figure 3. Recipient Short- and Longer-Term Outcomes After Kidney Transplant From Matched Deceased Donors.

HR indicates hazard ratio; OR, odds ratio.

^aThe data in column 4 are adjusted ORs (95% CIs). Short-term is defined as within 7 days after kidney transplant.

^bFor the kidney recipient comparisons by matched donor dialysis status (underwent dialysis vs did not undergo dialysis), logistic and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used and adjusted for the following covariates: cold ischemic time, recipient age, body mass index, diabetes as the cause of recipient end-stage kidney disease, preemptive transplant status, previous kidney transplant, level of human leukocyte antigen mismatch, panel reactive antibody category (0%, 1%-20%, 21%-80%, and >80%), and donor estimated glomerular filtration rate at hospital admission. Sandwich estimators were used to account for outcome dependency when both donor kidneys were explanted.

^cIncludes dialysis for severe hyperkalemia, acidosis, hypervolemia, hyperammonemia, and other electrolyte abnormalities without laboratory evidence of stage 2 or 3 acute kidney injury.

^dThe data in column 4 are adjusted HRs (95% CIs).
