Table 7.

Regression analysis of the risks for hospital discharge on dialysis (n = 102). Shown are the results of univariable and multivariable binary regression analyses to determine the odds ratios of the investigated variables for the risk of hospital discharge on dialysis (n = 102). Dialysis data were retrospectively available only for the period between 19 May 2003 and 31 Oct 2013. Analyzed were all cases (n = 985) with standard kidney transplantations into nonpreoperated sites. Included into risk-adjusted multivariable analyses were only transplant variables with a p value ≤ 0.2 in univariable regression analyses.
