Variable of pre vs. post-1/1/1999 was statistically significant in both models, but not shown, and UNOS region and insurance type (private vs. public) were significant only in the univariable model.

Reported P-values are from the multivariable model.

Age defined as 1-year increment in age at the time of listing
