Impact of Acute Rejection on Kidney Allograft Outcomes in Recipients on Rapid Steroid Withdrawal
Figure 2
Kaplan-Meier survival curves for death-censored graft survival. The 5-year estimate of the death-censored graft survival is 78% in the CR and 81% in the SR groups and 97% in the control group without acute rejection (log-rank ). The number of patients at risk at each time point is shown in the bottom of the figure. Significant differences in death-censored graft survival were observed between the CR and control group (HR 9.06, 95% CI 3.39–24.2) and between the SR and control group (HR 4.22, 95% CI 1.30–13.7); however there was no significant difference between the CR and SR groups (HR 2.14, 95% CI 0.63–7.28). NO AR: control group without rejection, SR: subclinical rejection, CR: clinical rejection.
