TABLE 2.
Interest in KPD among donor and recipient candidates under various circumstances
| Interest in KPD | Full cohort, median (IQR) | Donor, median (IQR) | Recipient, median (IQR) | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall interest in KPD | 4 (3–4) | 4 (3–4) | 4 (3–5) | 0.090 |
| Interest in KPD if not a match with each other | 4 (3–5) | 4 (3–5) | 4 (3–5) | 0.399 |
| Interest in KPD despite being a match with each other | 3 (2–4) | 2 (2–4) | 4 (3–4) | <0.001 |
| Scenarios with varying benefits | ||||
| If recipient gets additional benefit | 4 (4–5) | 4 (3–5) | 4 (4–5) | 0.943 |
| Even if recipient gets no additional benefit | 5 (4–5) | 3 (2–5) | 4 (3–5) | 0.006 |
| If recipient gets kidney from a younger donor | 4 (3–5) | 4 (3–5) | 5 (4–5) | 0.008 |
| If it lowers recipient’s risk of kidney rejection | 5 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 0.086 |
| If it lowers recipient’s risk for CMV infection | 5 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 0.120 |
| If it lowers recipient’s risk for EBV-related lymphoma | 5 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 0.166 |
| Logistics of KPD | ||||
| If transplant had to be delayed by <1 mo | 5 (4–5) | 4 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 0.454 |
| If transplant had to be delayed by 1–3 mo | 4 (3–5) | 4 (3–5) | 4 (3–5) | 0.078 |
| If transplant had to be delayed by 3–6 mo | 4 (3–5) | 4 (2–5) | 4 (3–5) | 0.188 |
| If the other pair is at the same transplant center | 5 (3–5) | 4 (3–5) | 5 (4–5) | 0.045 |
| Even if the other pair is at a different transplant center | 4 (3–5) | 3 (3–5) | 4 (3–5) | 0.032 |
CMV, cytomegalovirus; EBV, Epstein-Barr virus; IQR, interquartile range; KPD, kidney paired donation.
