¹Except for acute rejection in first year after first transplantation, where n = 41 because two cases are missing.

²Odds of primary non-function in the presence of the predictor to odds of primary non-function in its absence.

³Not assessed, for the calculation entails division by zero.

DM: Diabetes mellitus; ESRD: End-stage renal disease; HLA: Human leukocytic antigens; PRA: Panel reactive antibodies.
