Titers are expressed as medians (interquartile ranges) (BAU/mL). The prevalence of seroconversion is expressed in ratios (%). Significant p values (p) are detailed in the table and indicate a comparison with the COVID-matched controls at the same time point; when specified, they indicate a comparison with the COVID-matched patients under mycophenolate therapy (vs. MFM) or azathioprine (vs. AZA).
