^βExcludes LDLT case number ≤ 20.

^δP-values comparing LDLT versus DDLT for continuous variables are based on t-tests, and for categorical variables are based on the chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests.

¹Values missing less than 5% for these variables.

²Values missing less than 11% for these variables.

³N=11 aborted DDLT transplants excluded.

⁴N=1 aborted LDLT transplant excluded.
