* Hazards were adjusted by Fine-Gray model for recipient age, sex, race, Karnofsky score MELD score, at registration, presence of ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, dialysis requirement at registration and United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) region (1–11). aHR – adjusted hazard ratio; CI – confidence interval; MELD – model for end-stage liver disease. |
