Figure 5. — Complications following rapid discontinuation of prednisone (RDP) in deceased donor kidney transplantation as stratified by history of diabetes mellitus. Rates of cataracts, avascular necrosis, and CMV infection in deceased donor transplants without recipient pretransplant diabetes mellitus (A) or with diabetes mellitus (B). Statistical analysis reveals significant differences in the rates of cataracts (P<0.001) and avascular necrosis (P<0.001) between the RDP cohort and historical controls among nondiabetics and in the rates of cataracts (P<0.001) and CMV infection (P=0.02) between the RDP cohort and historical controls among those with diabetes.
