Tacrolimus IPV was used as a time-dependent variable. IPV, intrapatient variability; —, not analyzed.

a

Tacrolimus IPV as a continuous variable adjusted for age at transplantation and peak panel reactive antibody.

b

Tacrolimus IPV categorized as under or over 30% adjusted for age at transplantation and peak panel reactive antibody.

c

Tacrolimus IPV categorized by quartiles adjusted for age at transplantation and peak panel reactive antibody.

d

Tacrolimus IPV cutoffs by quartiles calculated from entire cohort: first quartile (25th percentile): 21%; second quartile (50th percentile): 30%; third quartile (75th percentile): 41%; fourth quartile (100th percentile): 173%.
