Note: For laboratory values, the lower levels of normal were set as thresholds.

Note: Bold values indicate statistical significance.

BMI, Body mass index; CI, confidence interval; CNI, calcineurin inhibitor; eGFR, estimated glomular filtration rate; LT, liver transplantation; MMF, mycophenolate mofetil; mTORi, mTOR inhibitor; N/A, not applicable: laboratory values that were not considered for univariate or multivariate analysis because of insufficient baseline values; OR, odds ratio; RBD, receptor binding domain; SARS-CoV-2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2.
