*

Variables tested but not significant (P > 0.10) in the multivariable Cox regression model: donor age, cold ischemia time, rejection requiring antibody (time-varying covariate), biliary complications (time-varying covariate), and antiviral treatment (time-varying covariate).

LDLT ≤20 are those LDLTs performed among the first 20 at a given center. LDLT >20 are those LDLTs performed after at least 20 LDLTs had been performed at the given center.
