Figure 1 Schematic illustration of our cohort study of potential kidneys from deceased donors from 1/1/2016 to 7/1/2021. In the Group A (adult cases), 94.1% of initial offer acceptances accepted the kidney for transplant but 5.9% did not. On the other hand, 94.2% of initial offer declines declined the kidney for transplant, but 5.8% did not. In the Group B (pediatric cases), 95.4% of initial offer acceptances accepted the kidney for transplant, but 4.6% did not. On the other hand, 89.7% of initial offer declines declined the kidney for transplant, but 10.3% did not.
