Preoperative Comorbidity Correlates Inversely with Survival after Intestinal and Multivisceral Transplantation in Adults
Figure 1
Km survival curves were plotted for patients grouped according to comorbidity score (dashed line: comorbidity 0 + 1; continuous line: comorbidity 2 + 3; dotted line: comorbidity 4 + 5; and dashed/dotted line: comorbidity >6). Logrank test for trend indicated a significant increase in rate of death with comorbidity score, and compared with comorbidity 0 + 1, the hazard ratios for death were found to increase with comorbidity score, 1.94 (0.76–5.82), 5.07 (3.31–36.17), and 13.77 (46.3–120100), respectively; the difference became significantly greater than group 0 + 1 at group 4 + 5 ().
