Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HLA, human leukocyte antigen; NRP, normothermic regional perfusion; TTD, time to death (withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment to mechanical asystole).

a

Right-skewed variables are log2 transformed, so the results relate to the change in 12-month eGFR every time the variable doubles. A nominal eGFR value of 10 mL/min/1.73 m2 was used for those with graft failure before 1 year.

b

Wait time from becoming active on the transplant waiting list.

c
