1. From a multivariate log-linear analysis of 57,303 renal transplants between 1988 and 1994, the top 10 factors influencing one-year and 3-year cadaveric graft survival rates were ranked as follows: [table: see text] 2. Center effects accounted for 30% and 28% of all assignable variations in one-year and 3-year outcomes, respectively. Although center variation dominated 32 other variables, most factors were relatively independent of transplant center. 3. Novel to our own multifactorial analyses of the UNOS Kidney Transplant Registry were 6 pretransplant factors (recipient pretransplant dialysis, pregnancy, PRA technique, donor disposition and preservation, and ABO compatibility). Survival rates over the various combinations of these new factors were not significantly different. 4. For the first time in our multivariate analyses, 4 posttransplantation factors (delayed graft function, rejection episodes prior to discharge, induction and maintenance drug therapies) were included in the log-linear model. It is noteworthy that graft survival in both transplant periods was seriously imperiled following delayed graft function or rejection prior to discharge, yet the accounting for these pseudo-outcome variables did not alter the influence of the remaining 31 transplant factors. Finally, maintenance drug therapies strongly influenced short-term outcomes but did not influence long-term results, except for a noteworthy trend toward increased survival rates for FK506 therapy.
