Primary outcome was a composite of clinical failure at day 5; all\u2010cause mortality; and\/or re\u2010hospitalization at 90\u00a0days.

Neither discontinuation of antimetabolites nor lower levels of CNI at infection onset were associated with a significant decrease the composite primary outcome. No significant difference in graft loss or rejection was demonstrated between patients with low vs high CNI levels or discontinuation vs continuation of antimetabolite.
