Transplant programs in the United States are evaluated on the basis of one- and three-year patient and
graft survival outcomes that are publicly reported every six months by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR).

graft survival. (a) Increased rates of EAD in steatotic liver grafts (p = 0.013).
In addition, one-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to test the hypotheses that there would be one or more mean difference between the factors (HLA antibody, MICA antibody and HLA mismatch) and
graft survival was performed to check for the effect of potential confounders.
Five-year
graft survival was 87.7% in SK[T.sub.pre] and 84.2% in all the DKT era transplants.
Concerning failed PKP grafts, the treatment effect of DSAEK has also been investigated in recent studies, including
graft survival, visual recovery, and the occurrence of related complications.
Graft survival at one, three, and five years post-transplant were 86.0%, 79.0% and 65.0%, respectively [Figure 2].
In the largest orthotopic renal transplant series to date (223 transplants over a 31-year period) excellent 1-, 10- and 20-year overall patient (92%, 78% and 63%) and graft (88%, 59% and 35%) survival were reported, with no difference in 20-year patient or
graft survival compared with heterotopic transplants.
Yoo et al and Urbaniak et al21 also found better
graft survival in patients aged 35 years and younger.
(2005), host/graft interactions with higher botanical affinity will lead to better chances of
graft survival. As such, grafting combinations involving species from the same family (apple, plum, peach, and pear trees) and from different genera (citrus) have been successfully performed for fruit production.
The association of higher pretransplant sCD30 [9, 10, 15, 16, 25, 28, 29] and posttransplant sCD30 [27, 28, 30-32] with increased risk of graft loss and worse
graft survival was found in most published studies, including several large multicenter studies [9, 10, 32].
Smoking and its effects in kidney transplantation Donor (i) More perioperative complications (ii) More postoperative wound infection (iii) Less likely to provide follow-up informations (iv) High creatinine at the end of 1 year (v) Higher death rate in donor with history of smoking Recipient (i) High risk of cardiovascular disease (ii) Reduced
graft survival (iii) Reduced kidney transplant recipient survival (iv) ?
PCAR is associated with a poor treatment response, resulting in poorer
graft survival than seen with other types of acute rejection [1,2,4].
