Long-term outcomes of kidney transplantation from expanded criteria donors with Chinese novel donation policy: donation after citizens’ death

Table 2 Post-transplant complications in the ECD and SCD groups

	ECD	SCD	P value
1-year free from acute rejection ^a	80.8%	90.6%	0.004
Acute rejection ^b	26 (25.0%)	49 (15.8%)	0.040
1-year free from all-cause infection ^a	72.1%	77.8%	0.168
All-cause infection ^b	54 (51.9%)	148 (47.6%)	0.497
Delayed graft function ^b, n (%)	21 (20.2%)	57(18.3%)	0.666

^a The Kaplan–Meier method was performed to compare outcomes in the two groups, and the log-rank test was performed to identify the difference between the two groups. Outcomes were reported as frequencies of freedom from events in 1-year post-transplant
^b The Chi-square test was performed to identify the difference between the two groups. Outcomes were reported as numbers (percentages) of events during the follow-up period
