Graft survival and calculations of hazard ratios (HR equivalent to relative risk) over the first 3 posttransplant years, based on number of HLA mismatches and of African-American (n=8111) and all other primary cadaver kidney recipients reported to the UNOS Scientific Registry (1991–1995). The reference hazard ratio (1.0) was provided by zero mismatch cases. Half-lives (HL) calculated with Cox regression analysis are shown side by side with those calculated by the conventional method (10), which are in parentheses.
