Logistic regression analysis for the risk of deceased donor kidney discard
| Variable | Odds ratio (95% CI) | P |
|---|---|---|
| Risk of kidney discard (arteriosclerosis as binary variable) | ||
| Any macroscopic renal artery arteriosclerosis | 1.36 (1.02-1.80) | <0.0005 |
| Risk of kidney discard (arteriosclerosis as categorical variable with 4 levels) | ||
| Any macroscopic renal artery arteriosclerosis | <0.0005 | |
| Mild vs no renal artery atherosclerosis | 1.72 (1.13-2.60) | 0.01 |
| Moderate vs no renal artery atherosclerosis | 0.79 (0.57-1.08) | 0.14 |
| Massive vs no renal artery atherosclerosis | 3.50 (2.48-4.93) | <0.0005 |
