TABLE 3.
Cox Regression Survival Model in Liver Disease Cohort and Race/Ethnicity Subsets: Effect of TL (as Continuous Variable) and Between TL Quartiles (Compared With Longest Quartile) on All‐Cause Mortality
| Characterized Liver Disease (n = 2,071) | White (Non‐Hispanic) (n = 978) | Non‐White (Excluding Multi‐ethnic) (n = 1,031) | Black (Non‐Hispanic) (n = 359) | Hispanic (n = 672) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deaths | HR (95% CI) | Deaths | HR (95% CI) | Deaths | HR (95% CI) | Deaths | HR (95% CI) | Deaths | HR (95% CI) | |
| All‐Cause Mortality | ||||||||||
| TL (kbp) | 516 | 1.22 [0.99‐1.51] | 273 | 1.37 [1.02‐1.84] | 233 | 1.01 [0.79‐1.31] | 97 | 1.26 [0.88‐1.81] | 136 | 0.86 [0.58‐1.27] |
| TL quartiles | ||||||||||
| First quartile | 157 | 1.22 [0.91‐1.63] | 82 | 1.38 [0.95‐2.00] | 72 | 0.96 [0.65‐1.42] | 29 | N/A | 43 | N/A |
| Second quartile | 116 | 1.00 [0.75‐1.35] | 70 | 1.16 [0.80‐1.69] | 44 | 0.69 [0.42‐1.13] | 19 | N/A | 25 | N/A |
| Third quartile | 117 | 0.99 [0.69‐1.43] | 60 | 1.08 [0.69‐1.69] | 54 | 0.94 [0.62‐1.44] | 21 | N/A | 33 | N/A |
| Fourth quartile (longest) | 126 | 1.00 | 61 | 1.00 | 63 | 1.00 | 28 | N/A | 35 | N/A |
All models adjusted for age, and dummy variables adjusted for female sex, smoking history, MetS, and presence of advanced fibrosis. N/A, sample size (number of deaths) was too small to provide a reliable estimate.
