Table 3.
Univariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis for 1-year patient survival, with pre-Share 35 era as reference. Bivariate Cox regression analysis performed with adjustment for donor risk index, with and without regional share. CI = confidence interval; DRI = donor risk index; LT = liver transplantation; MELD = Model for End-Stage Liver Disease.
