Unless specified. For the analysis of HADS-Depression, 134 patients were included due to the missingness in the HADS-Depression score (n = 3), MELD-Na score (n = 1), and SF-LDQOL score (n = 7). For the analysis of HADS-Anxiety, 135 patients were included due to the missingness in the HADS-Anxiety score (n = 2), MELD-Na score (n = 1), and SF-LDQOL score (n = 7).
Abbreviations: CirCom score, cirrhosis-specific comorbidity scoring system comorbidity score; HADS, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; MELD-Na, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease-Sodium; SF-LDQOL, Short-Form Liver Disease Quality of Life.
