Linear regression models predicting spleen volumes (cc)

Model A: Pre-donation Spleen Volume (N=344, R²=0.52)
Variable	Parameter Estimate	P-value
Pre-donation liver volume (per 100 cc)	11.14	<0.001
Platelet count at evaluation (× 50,000/mm³)	−19.07	<0.001
Body Surface Area	115.22	<0.001
Hemoglobin at evaluation (g/dl)	11.64	<0.001
Donor age at evaluation (per 10 years)	−13.23	<0.001

Model B: Post-donation M3 Spleen Volume (N=167, R²=0.40)
Variable	Parameter Estimate	P-value
Post-donation M3 liver volume (per 100 cc)	16.43	<0.001
Platelet count at evaluation (× 50,000/mm³)	−28.46	<0.001
Gender (ref: male)	77.03	<0.001

Model C: Post-donation Y1 Spleen Volume (N=75, R²=0.42)
Variable	Parameter Estimate	P-value
Post-donation Y1 liver volume (per 100 cc)	17.64	<0.001
Platelet count at evaluation (× 50,000/mm³)	−18.01	0.04
Hemoglobin (g/dl)	32.75	<0.001
