Then analyzing the contemporary 10\u2010year period (2015\u20132024), we calculated the Pearson correlation coefficient between center\u2010level LDKT volume and proportion of right\u2010sided nephrectomies. We also assessed the effect of Kidney paired donation (KPD) on proportion of right kidneys used at the center and national levels. We also compared the incidence of delayed graft function (DGF) and 90\u2010day graft failure.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The proportion of right\u2010kidney LDKTs decreased from 27% in 1995 to 10%\u201312% in the contemporary period.
