DDS, Deceased Donor Study; IQR, interquartile range; CAKUT, congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract.
a
These recipients met inclusion criteria, except that they received kidneys from deceased donors whose surrogates had not provided consent to research, and hence, they were not included in the DDS cohort.
b
Information for these variables was primarily obtained by manual chart review by DDS coordinators, and hence, these data were only reported for the DDS cohort. Other variables were obtained through the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network dataset.
