Association of pre-transplant statin use with delayed graft function in kidney transplant recipients

BMC Nephrology

Table 5 Results of multivariable logistic regression analysis of delayed graft function (DGF = D-DGF + ND-DGF) N = 256*

Characteristics	Odds ratio	Confidence interval	P value
Recipient characteristics
Body Mass Index (kg/m²)
>30 versus 18.5-24.99	6.14	2.27-16.57	<0.01
<18.5 versus 18.5-24.99	1.24	0.14-11.22	0.85
25-29.99 versus 18.5-24.99	2.03	1.00-4.13	0.05
Statin use (yes versus no)	0.98	0.39-1.06	0.59

Only statin use and statistically significant variables in the final adjusted regression model are shown.
* The initial variables included in the model were donor characteristics (body mass index [BMI], hypertension, smoking status, donor type, cause of death, inotropic support) recipient characteristics (age, , BMI, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking status, end-stage renal failure cause, prior renal replacement therapy, use of statins) and operation characteristics (cold ischemic time).
