Patient and graft survival in pediatric kidney transplantation from pediatric donors (BW ≤ 10 kg). a. Patient survival. No patients in the BW ≤ 5 kg group died, while there were 4 deaths in children with functional grafts in the 5 < BW ≤ 10 kg group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups; b. Death-censored graft survival. A significant difference was found between the two groups (p = 0.0077); c. Vascular thrombosis rate (p = 0.035 for BW ≤ 5 kg vs 5 < BW ≤ 10 kg comparison); d. Distribution of transplant date. Similar transplant date distributions between the two groups exclude learning-curve effects on the utilization of different body weight donors. BW, body weight
