Values depict the adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of mortality for kidney transplantation relative to waitlisted patients adjusted for age, race, sex, body mass index, insurance type, panel-reactive antibody level, educational attainment, active status at listing (yes or no), primary versus retransplant status, primary diagnosis, and time to listing from ESRD onset.
