Table 5. Validation of the thresholds for HLA-class I histocompatibility and the tolerance induction from Table 4.
| Factor | Hazards ratio | p-value |
|---|---|---|
| Tolerogenic factor higher than 220 eplets2 |

<0.01 |
| More than 10 HLAMatchmaker eplets at HLA-A/-B |

| Risk estimation at time of keratoplasty (low versus high risk) | 0.56 | <0.01 |
This Cox model is fitted to cohort 2 comprising of 975 consecutive patients. The model is adjusted for low- versus high-risk keratoplasties. Immune reactions were the only endpoint.
