Sensitivity Analysis with Competing Risk Regression Analyses Performed with Different Assumptions for 44 Patients with a Final Waitlist Outcome of “Other”
| Obstructive lung disease – Group A | Pulmonary arterial hypertension – Group B | Cystic fibrosis – Group C | Interstitial lung disease – Group D | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SHR transplanta | SHR death/removala | SHR transplanta | SHR death/removala | SHR transplanta | SHR death/removala | SHR transplanta | SHR death/removala | |
| Assuming all “other” outcome patients died or were removed | 1.89 p = 0.003 |
0.46 p = 0.020 |
1 | 1 | 1.84 p < 0.001 |
0.55 p = 0.007 |
1.73 p = 0.001 |
0.61 p < 0.001 |
| Excluding all “other” outcome patients from the analysis | 1.53 p = 0.045 |
0.57 p = 0.107 |
1 | 1 | 1.45 p = 0.025 |
0.75 p = 0.229 |
1.42 p = 0.016 |
0.76 p = 0.146 |
Abbreviation: SHR, sub-distribution hazard ratio.
The bold values are statistically significant bases on the statistical analysis used (i.e. the confidence interval does not cross 1, and the p-value was <0.05).
Adjusted for initial age, ABO blood type, height, and listing only for double lung transplant.
