| Baseline variable | Percentage with characteristic for categorical variables; mean ± SE for (geometric mean */ SE for skewed) continuous variables | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Donor MRA (N = 9) | Donor SRA (N = 40) | p-value | |
| L/NK mobilization | 44.4% (4/9) | 60.0% (24/40) | 0.39 |
| Surgical intervention pretransplant | 44.4% (4/9) | 62.5% (25/40) | 0.32 |
| Bladder augmentation | 11.1% (1/9) | 12.5% (5/40) | 0.91 |
| Arterial anastomosis with CIA | 33.3% (3/9) | 60.0% (24/40) | 0.15 |
| Venous anastomosis with IVC | 44.4% (4/9) | 60.0% (24/40) | 0.39 |
| WIT (min) | 30.8 ± 1.9 | 30.3 ± 1.1 | 0.85 |
| CIT (hr) | 10.0 ± 3.5 | 15.6 ± 2.0 | 0.22 |
| EBL (cc) | 36.7 */ 1.4 | 22.1 */ 1.1 | 0.17 |
MRA, multiple renal arteries; SRA, single renal artery; L/NK, liver/native kidney; CIA, common iliac artery; IVC, inferior vena cava; WIT, warm ischemia time; CIT, cold ischemia time; EBL, estimated blood loss.
