Table 4.
Multivariable logistic regression analysis of factors predicting acute rejection episodes occurring during the delayed graft function period in 1784 transplants performed from 1983 to 2014.
| Predictive factors | Risk code | Regression coefficient | P value | Odds ratio (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Constant | −2.119 | <0.001 | ||
| Peak HLA sensitization (>50% PRA) | If yes, then 1, else 0 | 1.265 | <0.001 | 3.5 (2.4–5.2) |
| Duration of regular dialyses (years) | Increase per year | 0.098 | <0.001 | 1.103 (1.062–1.146) |
| Antilymphocyte globulin induction | If no, then 1, else 0 | 0.860 | <0.001 | 2.4 (1.6–3.4) |
| Recipient's age (years) | Decrease per year | −0.025 | <0.001 | 0.975 (0.961–0.989) |
| HLA-A+B+DR mismatches (MM) | Increase per MM | 0.206 | <0.001 | 1.22 (1.09–1.39) |
| Recipient's perioperative saline loading | If no, then 1, else 0 | 0.624 | 0.005 | 1.9 (1.2–2.9) |
| Use of mycophenolate mofetil | If no, then 1, else 0 | 0.630 | 0.007 | 1.9 (1.2–2.9) |
Log likelihood chi-square (7 DF): 238.18, P < 0.0001. Goodness of fit: P = 0.85.
