Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) has been established as an efficacious method for preserving kidney allografts from deceased donors in clinical trials, but little data are available on the effectiveness of HMP in real-world settings. We examined factors associated with HMP use and clinical outcomes in a real-world organ procurement organization setting.
