  1. BMI body mass index, ICU intensive care unit, SCA sudden cardiac arrest, HTN arterial hypertension, ECD extended criteria donor, CPPH continuous pulsatile perfusion in hypothermia, CIT cold ischemic time, WIT warm ischemic time
  2. Two-sided P values are reported. The Fisher’s exact test was used for the categorical variables and Mann–Whitney U for the continuous ones
