Text: The results demonstrate that the following variables were independent risk factors for the development of CMV infection : high-risk CMV serostatus (donor positive/recipient negative ; hazard ratio [HR] 1. 4, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1. 46-5. 28, P = 0. 002) ; anti-thymocyte globulin induction therapy (HR 2. 1, 95 % CI 1. 08-4. 07, P = 0. 028) ; higher mean tacrolimus trough concentration (HR 1. 4, 95 % CI 1. 09-1. 74, P = 0. 007) ; creatinine clearance < 60 mL/min (HR 3. 4, 95 % CI 1. 64-6. 85, P = 0. 001) ; and body weight > 80 kg (HR 2. 1, 95 % CI 1. 05-4. 37, P = 0. 037).
