HBD = heart‐beating donation; NHBD = non‐heart‐beating donation; Tx = transplant.

Mann–Whitney U‐test: age, mm, time to discharge and time after transplantation.

Fisher’s exact test: transplant number, gender, donor type, graft function, cytomegalovirus (CMV); AR = acute rejection; HLA = human leucocyte antigen; HBD = heart‐beating donation; NHBD = non‐heart‐beating donation; M/F = male/female.

^*Median (range).

^†Time‐point of rejection or follow‐up sample.
