Hypothermic machine perfusion (HMP) is considered superior to static cold storage (SCS) in kidney transplantation, but the true benefit in the real-world experience remains incompletely understood. The aim of our study is to investigate the real-world impact of HMP on kidney graft function after deceased donor kidney transplant in an HMP cohort propensity score matched with SCS. Propensity score matching will be based on CIT, ECD, gender mismatch, CMV mismatch, re-TX and ET-senior program with a caliper of 0.05

DGF was defined as the need for at least one dialysis within the first seven days after transplant with the exception of dialysis for hyperkalemia or hypervolemia within the first 12 hours post-transplant
Time frame: 7 days post transplant
graft survival
24 month graft survival
Time frame: 24 months post transplant
