Table 6.

Regression analysis of the risks for delayed graft function (n = 272). Shown are the results of univariable and multivariable binary regression analyses to determine the odds ratios of the investigated variables for the risk of delayed graft function (n = 272). Dialysis data were retrospectively available for 985 cases. Patients with perioperative graft nephrectomy and with discharge on dialysis were censored (n = 102). Analyzed were all remaining cases (n = 883). Included into risk-adjusted multivariable analyses were only transplant variables with a p value ≤ 0.2 in univariable regression analyses.

1Not selected due to p value > 0.2 in univariable analyses.

2Odds ratios and 95% CI were not calculated because of a p value > 0.05 in multivariable analyses.
