    Average change in estimated GFR 6–12 months after kidney transplantation by year of transplant and donor type among patients with available estimated GFR at 6 months after transplantation. For patients with graft loss between 6 and 12 months, an estimated GFR of 10 mL/min/1.73 kg/m2 was imputed (1).
