Time to onset ** Median (Q1 – Q3) Median (Q1 – Q3)
Leak 11 (3 – 39) 14 (6 – 24)

Chi-square test of proportions for each complication type among recipients with a biliary complication (DDLT vs. LDLT, p=0.0046).

**

Based on t-tests, there were no significant differences in mean time to onset for any of the complication types comparing DDLT and LDLT.
