TABLE 2.

Univariate and multivariate Cox’s regression analysis comparing outcomes in living donor (LD) and donor after brain death (DBD) kidney transplantation.

	Univariate Cox’s regression		Multivariate Cox’s regression
DBD vs. LD	HR (95% CI)	p-value	HR (95% CI)	p-value
Graft survival	3.53 (2.43–5.11)	<0.001	2.64 (1.64–4.50)	<0.001
Death-censored graft survival	4.87 (2.60–9.13)	<0.001	2.59 (1.19–5.67)	0.017
Patient survival	3.33 (1.56–7.10)	0.002	3.03 (0.93–9.84)	0.066

Variables included in the multivariate analysis were donor age >70y, recipient age >70 y, recipient sex, recipient comorbidities (diabetes, cardiovascular disease) and time on dialysis.
