Multivariate analysis for Overall death after 5years showed similar HR, see text.

*

Time dependent factor analysis

ALD = alcohol related disease, HCC = hepatocellular carcinoma, CCA = cholangiocarcinoma

^^

Retransplant >1 year after primary transplant.

Note: Renal related deaths were too few to perform multivariate analysis
