Macrosteatosis defined as large droplet steatosis with nuclear displacement, provided as % of entire tissue field evaluated. Microsteatosis defined as small droplet steatosis without nuclear displacement, provided as % of entire tissue field evaluated. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), total bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels indicate last available values before procurement. Group comparisons made using the Wilcoxon rank-sum (Mann–Whitney U) or Fisher’s exact test, where appropriate. BMI, body mass index (kg/m2); CIT, cold ischemic time in minutes; F, female; M, male; WIT, warm ischemic time in minutes. Boldface value is a significant P value.
