Association between increasing KidneyMELD post-LT outcomes

	aHR for death post-LT (95% CI) (N=34,149)	aOR for eGFR ≤30mL/min/1.73² at 1-year (95% CI) (N=22,433)
KidneyMELD category^*
0%	Reference	Reference
1-24%	1.09 (1.02-1.16)	1.90 (1.51-2.40)
25-49%	1.24 (1.15-1.33)	4.83 (3.87-6.04)
≥50%	1.52 (1.36-1.69)	11.56 (8.93-14.97)

p<0.001 for both models

Each model was adjusted for the following covariates at LT: age, gender, race/ethnicity, primary etiology of liver disease, laboratory MELD-Na score, serum albumin at LT, ascites at LT, diabetes, dialysis at LT, location prior to LT, donor age and receipt of DCDD organ.
