The change over time in the MRCI components during ESRD (before kidney transplantation, on discharge after kidney transplantation [M0], and 4 and 12 months after kidney transplantation [M4 and M12])

	Before	M0	M4	M12
	(n = 354)	(n = 352)	(n = 348)	(n = 344)
Component A	10.4 ± 4.76a	12.9 ± 4.55b	13.1 ± 4.47e	12.2 ± 4.52
Component B	11.6 ± 5.06a	16.9 ± 4.87c	16.3 ± 4.84e	15.0 ± 5.24
Component C	5.64 ± 3.05a	12.5 ± 3.67d	11.7 ± 3.43e	10.3 ± 3.10
Total MRCI	27.7 ± 11.9	42.3 ± 11.2	41.2 ± 11.3	37.5 ± 11.9

ESDR, end-stage renal disease; MRCI, medication regimen complexity index.

Results are expressed as the mean ± SD.

Differences over time were statistically significant for components A, B, and C (analysis of variance P < 0.001 for each component).

^aP < 0.001 for comparisons between before transplantation and M0, M4, and M12 (after Bonferroni correction).

^bDifference between M0 and M4 not significant, P = 0.046 between M0 and M12 (after Bonferroni correction).

^cDifference between M0 and M4 not significant, P < 0.001 between M0 and M12 (after Bonferroni correction).

^dP = 0.001 between M0 and M4, P < 0.001 between M0 and M12 (after Bonferroni correction).

^eP < 0.001 for the comparisons between M4 and M12 (after Bonferroni correction).
