Abstract
Background: We analyze the results of renal transplantation among recipients over 65 years old over a 3 year periods (2008-2012) from a single renal transplantation unit and compare results with younger recipients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of 2018 renal transplants performed between November 2008 and December 2012. Chi-square (ï£2) test for the comparison of categorical data and Students t test was used for the analysis of continuous variables. Patient and graft cumulative actuarial survivals calculated via Kaplan-Meier analysis were tested for differences with the Mantel- Cox log-rank test.
