a: Odds Ratio (OR)=8.26 (95% CI; 2.3-30.9); b: OR= 12.25 (95% CI; 2.05-85.6);
c:OR=14.69 (95% CI; 3.5-66.35); d: OR=25.0 (95% CI; 2.16-484.8).
*: Individuals carrying CT alleles were compared in those with 0 rejection
episode vs. ≥4 grade 3R cellular rejection episodes within the first 6 months after
transplantation (p<0.005; OR=18.3; 95% CI; 1.92-247.02). |
