1 Cohort is limited to 182 patients with available PyV-Haufen test results -plus- either additional test results for decoy cell shedding and/or BKPy-viremia. The overall prevalence of PyVN in this cohort is 35%. 2 A patient is listed as “positive” if ≥ two samples tested positive for decoy cell shedding above threshold or ≥ one sample tested positive for BKPy-viremia above threshold or ≥ one sample tested positive for PyV-Haufen shedding. All test results collected between transplantation and index biopsy were considered in the group of 64 PyVN patients. 3 A patient is listed as “negative” if all available test results were negative or below threshold. 4 All test results collected within 74 weeks post transplantation were considered in the group of 118 patients without “definitive” PyVN.
