1. Estimated survival probability curve in recipients of renal transplants in multivariable–adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression model 2.
Estimated survival probability curve in recipients of renal transplants in multivariable–adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression model 2. Shown are the survival probabilities of patients belonging to quartiles 1–4 according to marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) levels (the sum of eicosapentaenoic, docosapentaenoic, and docosahexaenoic acid levels in weight percentage [wt%] of total plasma phospholipid fatty acids) after adjustment for the following variables: recipient age, sex, n-6 PUFA levels, eGFR using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula, time in dialysis before transplantation, preemptive transplantation, body mass index, number of antihypertensive drugs, diabetes mellitus, coronary artery, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular diseases, and albumin and total plasma cholesterol concentrations. Quartile 1, marine n-3 PUFA ≤6.20 wt%; quartile 2, marine n-3 PUFA =6.21–7.94 wt%; quartile 3, n-3 PUFA =7.95–10.02 wt%; quartile 4, marine n-3 PUFA ≥10.03 wt%.
