| Did not Reject (%) | Rejection (%) | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| High-dose steroid prophylaxis | 36 (68) | 17 (32) | 53 |
| Low-dose steroid prophylaxis | 24 (47) | 27(53) | 51 |
| Total | 60 (58) | 44 (42) | 104 |
Chi-square test of association was not significant (P > .05), however, the time-independent proportional hazards models reveal a significantly lower risk of rejection among recipients of initial high-dose steroid prophylaxis (P = .007).
