Table 3. Comparisons of outcomes between LT patients with religious affiliation and LT patients with no religious affiliation.

Odds ratios, 95% CIs, and p-values result from logistic regression models. Hazard ratios, 95% CIs, and p-values result from Cox proportional hazards regression models. Multivariable models were adjusted for any baseline, operative, or donor variable that differed between the two groups with a p-value <0.20 (age at transplant and hospital admittance status when called for transplant).

CI: confidence interval; LT: liver transplant
