Comparing Covariate-adjusted Wait-list Mortality Risk between ESLD and Status-1A Candidates
Status-1A is the reference group (hazard ratio set to 1). Compared to Status-1A, ESLD candidates with MELD score ≤35 have lower wait-list mortality risk; ESLD candidates with MELD score 36–40 have similar wait-list mortality risk; and ESLD candidates with MELD scores >40 have higher wait-list mortality risk.
