[Retracted] The Impact of Graft Nephrectomy on Subsequent Transplants: Multivariate Analysis of Risk Factors for Second Graft Loss and for Multiple Transplantations–A Single-Center Retrospective Study

Second allograft loss22 (45%)*7 (13.5%)
Multiple-transplant (≥3) candidates**19 (34.69%)***7 (13.46%)
Multiple transplants (≥3) performed15 (33.3%)***5 (9.6%)
Failed second allograft and active on the waiting list42
Failed second allograft and not active on the waiting list40

The in that calculation was 49 since there was no evidence that the nephrectomy cohort patients who expired during the observation period had a failed graft prior to their death. There was no fatality in the control group.
**Those are patients in need of re-retransplantation, who have either undergone multiple (>2) transplantations or are active for third or fourth time on the transplant list/being worked up for a living donor transplantation. Failed second transplant patients rendered unfit for multiple transplantations or not yet active on the list were not included.
***The in that calculation was 45 instead of 49, since there were 4 fatalities in the nephrectomy cohort with functioning grafts at the time of their death.
