Introduction: This study identifies the effect of individual donor and recipient characteristics on graft survival in living-donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) using a recently described novel measure, kidney life years (KLYs).

Materials And Methods: The Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network/United Network for Organ Sharing database was used to identify first-time kidney-only LDKT recipients between 1987 and 2020 who did not experience death with a functioning graft (DWFG) and were not missing relevant information (n = 87,290). Patient characteristics were evaluated using Cox and multiple regression analyses, with the dependent variable being KLYs.
