Recipient
 Gender (male versus female)1.841.21–2.800.005
 Time on dialysis (months)0.930.87–0.900.044
 Positive CMV IgG (versus negative)1.591.02–2.490.040
Donor
 Age (years)0.980.97–0.990.004
Transplant
 0-1 HLA-B mismatch (versus 2) 1.800.28–0.840.004
 Absence of acute rejection (versus presence)0.640.41–0.990.047
 Serum creatinine 12 months after (mg/dL)0.260.16–0.41<0.001

Variables included in the multivariable model: age and sex of the recipient, mean time on dialysis, recipient status for cytomegalovirus IgG, prior blood transfusions (<3 versus ≥3), age of the donor, number of HLA-B mismatches (0, 1 versus 2), PRA (<30 versus ≥30%), induction with antithymoglobulin, delayed graft function, acute rejection, and serum creatinine at 12 months after KT.
