Table 2.
Covariates associated with disparities in liver transplantation between men and women. Each individual Cox regression model was stratified by age, blood group, UNOS region, whereas MELD scores were sequentially substituted. In the last model, height was added to model 4.
Model | Covariates | HR of liver transplantation (F/M) | 95% CI |
---|---|---|---|
1 | Age, blood group, region | 0.80 | 0.78–0.81 |
2 | Age, blood group, region, lab MELD at listing | 0.78 | 0.76–0.79 |
3 | Age, blood group, region, allocated MELD at listing | 0.82 | 0.80–0.84 |
4 | Age, blood group, region, time-dependent allocated MELD | 0.85 | 0.83–0.87 |
5 | Age, blood group, region, time-dependent allocated MELD, height | 0.91 | 0.89–0.94 |
