Table 3.

Multivariable analysis of pre-transplant factors associated with Physical Composite Score and Mental Composite Score of SF-36. Coefficients should be interpreted as follows: change in SF-36 score per unit increase in DRI.

	Physical Composite Score (PCS)		Mental Composite Score (MCS)
	Coefficient	P- value	Coefficient	P- value
DRI	−4.8	0.4	−2.8	0.6
Gender	0.8	0.8	4.7	0.2
Current age	−0.3	0.3	0.2	0.3
MELD at transplant	−0.2	0.5	−.06	0.8
Years since transplant	0.3	0.8	0.6	0.5
Prior transplant	11.5	0.2	10.9	0.1
Charlson Comorbidity Index	0.1	0.9	0.5	0.4
Hospitalized at transplant	−2.7	0.7	−4.7	0.4
