a

Recipients of live/deceased donors: Unknown or missing categories are not presented in the table since valid inferences cannot be drawn from them.

b

Recipients of live donors: Model is also adjusted for recipient hepatitis B surface antigen. However, the results are not displayed due to nonsignificance in the multivariable model.

c

Recipients of live donors: Model is also adjusted for donor age, donor BMI, donor gender, donor ethnicity, HLA mismatch level, donor preoperative creatinine, and donor hepatitis C antibody.

d

Recipients of deceased donors:Model is also adjusted for recipient angina status, cerebrovascular disease, and hepatitis B surface antigen. However, the results are not displayed due to nonsignificance in the multivariable model.

e

Recipients of deceased donors: Model is also adjusted for donor age, donor BMI, donor gender, donor ethnicity, HLA mismatch level, donor terminal laboratory creatinine, donor hepatitis C antibody, donor history of diabetes, donor history of hypertension, donor cause of death, and donor cardiac arrest postbrain death.
