Cox proportional hazard analysis for death from any cause or liver transplantation (Model 1), and for liver-related morbidity and mortality (Models 2–5).

	Model 1 Death (any cause) or Liver Transplantation		Model 2 Any liver-related outcome		Model 3 Decompensated liver disease		Model 4 HCC		Model 5 Liver-related death or Liver Transplantation
	N=526 (72 events)		N=526 (91 events)		N=526 (50 events)		N=526 (35 events)		N=526 (55 events)
