(AI + CI) ≥13 vs. (AI + CI) <13 4.99 2.97–8.38 <0.0001
cg score per 1-unit increase 1.54 1.26–1.88 <0.0001
(ci + ct) per 1-unit increase 1.48 1.29–1.71 <0.0001

AMR type 2 vs. AMR type 1 2.21 1.23–3.96 0.008
Biopsy ≥84 mo vs. biopsy <84 mo 2.51 1.47–4.30 0.0008
Biopsy post-transplant time (per month) 1.009 1.005–1.014 0.0002
eGFR (per ml/min)a 0.958 0.943–0.972 <0.0001
eGFR (per 10 ml/min)a 0.649 0.557–0.756 <0.0001
ΔRIS >−2 4.00 2.33–7.14 <0.0001

AI, activity index; AMR, antibody-mediated rejection; cg, Banff chronic glomerulopathy score; ci, Banff interstitial fibrosis score; CI, chronicity index; ct, Banff tubular atrophy score; cv, Banff chronic vasculopathy score; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; ΔRIS, change in donor-specific antibody relative intensity sum score; TCMR, T cell–mediated rejection.

Type 1 AMR indicates persistent/rebound donor-specific antibody, whereas type 2 AMR indicates de novo donor-specific antibody.

Development of graft loss in patient groups was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test to determine significance, and Cox proportional hazards models were used to determine hazard ratios and their 95% confidence intervals.
