Moudgil A, Martz K, Stablein DM, Puliyanda DP. Variables affecting estimated glomerular filtration rate after renal transplantation in children: A NAPRTCS data analysis. Pediatr Transplantation 2010: 14:288–294. © 2009 John Wiley & Sons A/S. : Short‐term graft survival has improved in renal transplants without significant effect on long‐term graft survival. As GFR decline precedes graft loss, an understanding of variables affecting eGFR after TX may help improve graft survival. NAPRTCS data were analyzed to assess effects of donor, recipient, and other variables on Schwartz eGFR after transplantation. For 8438 children with a functioning graft at day 30, data were censored for children dying with a functioning graft, and those with
