We included expanded criteria donors in whom death was diagnosed based on neurological criteria, in compliance with French law, and the recipients of their kidney grafts. Eligible expanded criteria donors were older than 60 years or were aged 50-59 years and had at least two other risk factors (history of hypertension, creatinine >132 μmol/L, or cerebrovascular cause of death). Donors were randomly assigned to hypothermia (34-35°C) or normothermia (36·5-37·5°C). Machine perfusion was used routinely. Randomisation was done using a computer-generated, interactive, web-response system, in permuted blocks (block size six), stratified by centre. Outcome assessors were masked; investigator masking was not feasible. The primary outcome was the proportion of kidney recipients with delayed graft function, defined as renal replacement therapy within 7 days after transplantation, assessed in the modified intention-to-treat (mITT) population, which included all recipients who received at least one kidney from an expanded criteria donor, with the exception of those under guardianship. Secondary outcomes in expanded criteria donors were the number of organs recovered and transplanted, kidney function, body temperature, total volume of fluids administered, blood pressure and need for vasopressors and inotropes, and adverse events (cardiovascular events, metabolic disturbances, and coagulation disorders). Secondary outcomes in kidney recipients were duration of hospital stay, kidney graft function and vital status at day 7, day 28, 3 months, and 1 year after transplantation, and adverse events (infections, cardiovascular events, and surgical complications).
