Risk Balancing of Cold Ischemic Time against Night Shift Surgery Possibly Reduces Rates of Reoperation and Perioperative Graft Loss

Table 7

Regression analysis of the risks for hospital discharge on dialysis (). Shown are the results of univariable and multivariable binary regression analyses to determine the odds ratios of the investigated variables for the risk of hospital discharge on dialysis (). Dialysis data were retrospectively available only for the period between 19 May 2003 and 31 Oct 2013. Analyzed were all cases () with standard kidney transplantations into nonpreoperated sites. Included into risk-adjusted multivariable analyses were only transplant variables with a value ≤ 0.2 in univariable regression analyses.
