Death–censored graft loss shows the final multivariate models for death–censored graft failure after analysis of the univariate factors (seen in Supplemental Table 2). These factors are analyzed in addition to the existing Birmingham model risk factors; thus, although not significant with the additional data, they still performed well in outcome prediction. There are three models for each of the cohorts with available data. Overall graft loss shows the final multivariate model for overall graft failure, which only was performed in the histology group, because it was the only risk factor for failure in univariate analysis. The histologic score hazard ratio is incremental per unit of Banff score. C2 DSA cum, cumulative mean fluorescence intensity of class 2 donor–specific alloantibody.

a

Variable was analyzed on log scale (base 10).

b

Effect of UACR varies depending on rejection. Results are reported when there was no rejection.

c

Hazard ratios are reported for a 10-U increase in variable.

d

Effects of rejection vary depending on UACR. Reported results are for UACR=2.9.

e

Hazard ratio is per unit of histologic Banff score.
