Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier (KM) plots show the comparison of individual postoperative overall survival (OS) according to different liver transplantation (LT) types. (A) Overall, early liver transplantation (ELT) and standard liver transplantation (SLT) demonstrate comparable survival outcomes (P=0.986). ELT provides promising post-transplant OS period compared with SLT. (B) KM survival curves stratified by pre-transplant abstinence status and LT timing. OS was comparable among patients in Group NA (non-abstinence) receiving ELT and those in the Group A (abstinence) receiving either ELT or SLT (P=0.992).
