Effect of Prophylactic Antifungal Protocols on the Prognosis of Liver Transplantation: A Propensity Score Matching and Multistate Model Approach

Figure 1

Nonparametric estimates of cumulative hazards of the multistate model stratified by transitions. (a) Cumulative hazards for the transition from liver transplantation to fungal infection demonstrate the fungal infection which occurred within the early period of transplantation and reached a plateau after 3 months. The routine prophylaxis group has lower cumulative hazards of “transplantation to fungal infection” transition. (b) Cumulative hazards for the transition from liver transplantation to death between the two groups were similar. (c) Cumulative hazards for the transition from fungal infection to death between the two groups were similar.

(a) Transplant to fungus

(b) Transplant to death

(c) Fungus to death
