Cox-regression: complete-cases-only analyses
Analysis is adjusted for: Number of antihypertensive drugs, cholesterol level, type of IS, year of TPL, MAP, donor age

Glucose (medians/maxima per patient and year) (truncated at 1000 units).

Complete-case-only analysis for Treatment comparison
b: Adjusted hazard ratios (multivariable Cox model; adjusted for number of antihypertensive drugs, peripheral vascular disease, cholesterol level, maximal glucose level, type of immunosuppression, year of transplantation, diabetes duration, donor age; 65 deaths, 65 graft losses).

Nonlinear estimation of adjusted association of glucose control and mortality Nonlinear estimation was performed using restricted cubic splines with knots placed at the 5th, 35th, 65th and 95th percentiles of the empirical distribution of each parameter (median glucose per year, HbA1c, maximal glucose per year).
Patient survival
a: Neither mean glucose levels (mg/dl) nor mean HbA1c (%) predicted mortality. Solid line indicate the HR, dashed lines the 95%CI.
