Data are reported as N (row %), with p-values from Chi-square tests, unless stated otherwise. Bold p-values are significant at p < 0.05. *The factor was divided into categories to illustrate the association with donor type, but p-values were based on the original untransformed variable. **p-Value from Mann-Whitney U test, as the factor is ordinal/continuous
