Multivariable analysis of donor and recipient factors predicting post-transplant survival
| Donor factors | Hazard ratio | 95% CI | p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (per year) | 1.01 | 1.00–1.02 | 0.01 |
| Tobacco use (yes vs. no) | 1.32 | 1.01–1.74 | 0.04 |
| Mild LVH versus no LVH | 1.00 | 0.79–1.27 | 0.97 |
| Moderate-severe LVH versus no LVH |
1.02 | 0.62–1.69 | 0.93 |
| Recipient factors | Hazard ratio | 95% CI | p-Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age >55 years versus age ≤55 years |
1.30 | 1.04–1.63 | 0.02 |
| Serum creatinine (per mg/dL) |
1.31 | 1.17–1.47 | <0.01 |
| ECMO support (yes vs. no) | 6.0 | 3.16–11.60 | <0.01 |
| Mean PAP (per mmHg) | 1.01 | 1.00–1.02 | < 0.01 |
CI = confidence interval; ECMO = extracorporeal membrane oxygenator; LVH = left ventricular hypertrophy; PAP = pulmonary artery pressure.
A p value <0.05 is considered significant.
