Table 4.

Regression analysis of the risks for perioperative graft loss (n = 55). Shown are the results of univariable and multivariable binary regression analyses to determine the odds ratios of the investigated variables for the risk of perioperative graft loss (n = 55) during primary hospitalization period. Analyzed were all 1262 cases with standard kidney transplantations into nonpreoperated sites between 1 January 2000 and 31 October 2013. Included into risk-adjusted multivariable analyses were only transplant variables with a p value < 0.2 in univariable regression analyses.
