OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; KT: kidney transplant; DM: diabetes mellitus; NODAT: new-onset diabetes after transplant; and mTOR: mammalian target of rapamycin. mTOR inhibitor was everolimus or sirolimus. Calcineurin inhibitor was cyclosporine or tacrolimus. Corticosteroid was prednisone. Chi-square test.
