| LT – liver transplant; OS – overall survival; HR – hazard ratio; CI – confidence interval; DM – diabetes mellitus; HE – hepatoencephalopathy; UV – univariate; MV – multivariate; MELD – model of end-stage liver disease; BMI – body mass index; ER – emergency room. * The following factors were calculated in UV: Age, sex, Child-Pugh classification, MELD score, BMI, DM, HTN, prior decompensation episode, admission through ER, ER presentation, smoker, betel nut user, alcohol use amount, use year, and alcohol abstinence or not.
