Post liver transplantation graft and patient survival at 1 year based on nutritional assessment at the time of listing for transplantation.

		Graft survival (%)	Log rank	Patient survival (%)	Log rank
SGA	0 (N = 41)	93		95	0.47
	1 (N = 129)	92		92
	2 (N = 80)	91	0.6	91
	3 (N = 10)	80		80
BMI*	<18.5 (N = 4)	75		75	0.031
	18.5–24.9 (N = 79)	87		89
	25–29.9 (N = 88)	92	0.026	92
	30–34.9 (N = 57)	98		98

	40 or more (N = 11)	73		73

BMI, body mass index; SGA, subjective global assessment.

^*Patient survival rates were similar for BMI at the time of transplant controlled for ascitic fluid removed at transplant.

(BMI <18.5 vs. ≥ 40 vs. 18.5–39.9; 86% vs. 80% vs. 91%, respectively; Log Rank P = 0.61) and for SGA at the time of transplant.

(SGA 0 vs. 1 vs. 2 vs. 3 as 97% vs. 91 % vs. 92% vs. 85%; P = 0.36).
