Figure 4: Impact of liver transplants on HCC-specific mortality in the 12 US states participating in the study.

Figure 4:

Panel A shows the age-standardized mortality rate within 5 years of diagnosis among localized HCC cases (on y-axis) by calendar year of diagnosis (x-axis), according to their transplant status. Data has been shown for calendar years 1987–2013 to include deaths that have occurred till 2017. Panel B presents the observed (solid line) and counterfactual (dotted line) IBM rates for localized HCCs by calendar year of death.
