Table 4.

Univariate analysis was undertaken and all factors with p < 0.2 (all the factors shown) were entered into a stepwise multivariable model. The final multivariable model shows that only three factors remained significantly associated (p < 0.05) with patient and liver allograft survival. Class II DSA for this analysis was defined as either preformed or de novo.
