Summary The impact of machine perfusion (MP) time on kidney transplant outcome is mixed in previous studies using multivariable analyses. In an analysis of 66 pairs of donor‐matched adult, first transplant recipients (N = 132) with identical donor characteristics except for pump time, tests of assoc...
