Empty cells in p-value columns are because p-value represents comparison across all categories of a variable.

High and low deprivation were classified as above and below the median deprivation index of the cohort, respectively. IQR = interquartile range; MELD: The Model for End-stage Liver Disease; PELD: Pediatric End-stage Liver Disease
