Figure 2 Longitudinal course of eGFR modelled with a linear mixed-effect model on a natural cubic spline basis. The x-axis is displayed on a signed pseudo logarithm scale. P value was obtained using Satterthwaite’s degree of freedom method. The effect of group DCD vs DBD on eGFR change over time was not significant (P =0.123). DBD – donation after brain death; DCD – donation after cardiac death; eGFR – estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate; TPL – transplantation. Statistical analyses were performed using R (version 4.1.1) and R Studio software.
