If multiple regression is done with first day of furosemide (n = 54), then furosemide is not significant. Surgery duration is collinear with surgeon, so only surgeon was used in the multiple regression. LR: Living related liver graft; PELD: Pediatric end-stage liver disease score; R/SL: Reduced or split liver graft; WL: Whole liver graft.
