Clinical outcomes according to kidney procurement time
| Outcome | Procurement time; no. (%) of recipients* | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| SP | PKP | ||
| Short-term | |||
| Cold ischemia time, mean ± SD, h | 9.6 ± 5.0 | 8.0 ± 2.5 | 0.4 |
| Delayed graft function | 7 (6.1) | 6 (20.0) | 0.2 |
| Early graft failure† | 0 (0.0) | 2 (6.7) | < 0.01 |
| Long-term | |||
| Donor-specific antibodies | 1 (0.9) | 3 (10.0) | < 0.01 |
| Acute rejection episode | 6 (5.2) | 3 (10.0) | 0.3 |
| Deceased with functioning graft | 8 (7.0) | 2 (6.7) | 1.0 |
| Graft failure | 3 (2.6) | 3 (10.0) | 0.7 |
PKP = prolonged kidney procurement time; SD = standard deviation; SP = standard procurement time.
Except where noted otherwise.
Graft nephrectomy or loss of kidney transplant function resulting in dialysis dependence within 30 days of transplantation.
