EPTS, expected post-transplant survival.
a
Per 100 patient-years.
b
First year refers to the 11th year in dialysis-treated patients and the first post-transplant year in those who received a transplant. Similarly, second year refers to the 12th year in dialysis-treated patients and the second post-transplant year in those who received a transplant. Third year refers to the 13th year in dialysis-treated patients and the third post-transplant year in those who received a transplant.
c
EPTS was calculated at time of the 10-year dialysis anniversary.
