Comparison of the estimated association of induction treatment on acute rejection and overall allograft failure using multivariable Cox regression models
| Induction group | Overall graft failure within 1 year of transplant (%) | Adjusted* HR$ | 95% CI | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Induction group (Steroid + ATG) | 36.0% | 1.691 | 0.651-4.38 | 0.2804 |
| No-induction group (Steroid only) | 21.6% | |||

| $HR=Hazards ratio; 95% CI=95% confidence interval. *Adjusted for donor factors (age, sex and kidney donor profile index, cold ischemia time, and donor to recipient weight ratio) and recipient factors (age, sex, diabetes status, Hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and dialysis vintage) | ||||
