VWF-Ag and a newly developed score containing VWF-Ag and ALP predict retransplantation-free survival.

(a) The optimal cut-off for VWF-Ag as determined by Youden’s index was 286.8%, which significantly correlated with re-transplantation-free survival after the first liver transplantation, in the Kaplan-Meier analysis. (b) The newly developed score including VWF-Ag and ALP (VWF-Ag × ALP/10,000) also predicted re-transplantation-free survival in the Kaplan-Meier analysis.

ALP: alkaline phosphatase; VWF-Ag: Von Willebrand factor antigen
