Abbreviations: LT, liver transplant; AH, alcoholic hepatitis; UNOS, United Network of Organ Sharing
All adult LTs performed in U.S., excluding HIV and re-transplants
Numbers calculated from sensitivity analysis assuming the same rate of alternate classification amongst all LT centers as ACCELERATE-AH sites (i.e. assuming only 35% of LT recipients for AH coded in UNOS with listing diagnosis of AH)
