Table 6 Logistic regression analysis: ATG treated steroid-resistant cellular rejection

	Univariable			Multivariable
	OR	95% CI	P	OR	95% CI	P
IL-2 minus	7.98	2.84 to 22.41	< 0.001	8.04	2.77 to 23.25	< 0.001
Any HLA-DR mismatch	2.18	0.86 to 5.52	0.1	2.45	0.92 to 6.57	ns
CMV-positive recipient	0.38	0.15 to 0.94	0.04	0.59	0.22 to 1.58	ns
Recipient age	0.99	0.96 to 1.03	0.59	0.99	0.95 to 1.02	ns
Recipient gender (male)	1.55	0.55 to 4.37	0.40	1.29	0.42 to 3.95	ns

N=232; 23 rejection episodes, no missing variables.
Variables tested in the univariable model but not included in the multivariable model: CMV- positive donor, presence of HLA antibodies, donor gender, donor age, type of calcineurin inhibitor (tacrolimus versus CsA), any HLA-A or HLA-B mismatch, time on dialysis, cold ischemia time and delayed graft function.
