TABLE 5.

Pretransplant and posttransplant frailty categories among the 118 and the 140 LT recipients with a frailty assessment by the SCA at 3- and 6-mo after LT, respectively^a

Pretransplant SCA-based categoriesa (n = 180)	3-Mo posttransplantb (n = 118)			6-Mo posttransplantb (n = 140)			Total pre-LT
	Good	Fair	Poor	Good	Fair	Poor
Good	63 (63%)	4 (4%)	0	76 (76%)	5 (5%)	1 (1%)	100 (56%)
Fair	34 (56%)	4 (7%)	1 (2%)	39 (64%)	6 (10%)	0	61 (34%)
Poor	9 (47%)	3 (16%)	0	9 (47%)	4 (11%)	0	19 (11%)
Total post-LT	106 (90%)	11 (9%)	1 (1%)	124 (89%)	15 (11%)	1(1%)

The subjects in the white cells did not experience any change in their posttransplant frailty category based on the SCA. The subjects in the dark, grey-shaded cells experienced improvement in their frailty category at 3 and/or 6 mo after LT. The subjects in the light, grey-shaded cells experienced worsening in their frailty category at 3 and/or 6 mo after LT.
