Mortality on waiting list or removed from waiting list due to poor conditions (patients with Tx excluded) univarate analysis

	Still on waiting list (n = 139)	Died or removed from waiting list (n = 29)	P value
	Mean ± SD (95% CI)	Mean ± SD (95% CI)
Albumin [g/l]	34.9 ± 11.3 (33.1-36.8)	24.3 ± 12.4 (19.6-29.1)	0.0001
Bilirubin [mg/dl]	2.9 ± 3.5 (2.4-3.6)	6.5 ± 9.1 (3.0-10.0)	0.004
INR	1.25 ± 0.2 (1.2-1.3)	1.56 ± 0.34 (1.3-1.6)	0.0001
Creatinine [mg/dl]	1.04 ± 0.8 (0.8-1.3)	1.57 ± 3.1 (0.4-2.7)	Ns
Urea [mg/dl]	32.0 ± 18.4 (29.0-35.2)	41.5 ± 26.0 (28.2-54.8)	Ns
CTP score	7.5 ± 1.8 (7.2-7.8)	9.4 ± 2.4 (8.5-10.3)	0.0001
MELD score	13.2 ± 5.9 (12.1-14.1)	17.2 ± 7.4 (14.4-20.1)	0.002
Ascites	1:112 (81%)	1:20 (69%)	Ns
	2:20 (14%)	2:6 (21%)

HE	1:107 (77%)	1:19 (65%)	Ns
	2:31 (22%)	2:9 (31%)

Combined calculation of ascites plus HE showed no difference

Ascites and HE were classified from stage 1 to 3
