title: A single-center multiple regression analysis of covariates associated with long-term cadaveric renal allograft survival: further improvement of long-term results with CsA.
abstract: This single center analysis shows further improvement in the already excellent long-term, cadaveric renal allograft survival with Aza since the introduction of CsA. In contrast to the findings from the UCLA/UNOS multicenter registries, these results support other observations that the type of maintenance immunosuppression does indeed influence the long-term attrition rate of cadaveric, renal allografts.
