Table 1 Patient characteristics.

	NoST	AST	ITBL
n	25	27	23
m/f	16/9	11/16 (P = 0.08¹)	13/10 (P = 0.40¹)
Median age (yr)	50 yr [33-63]	54 yr [33-65] (P = 0.09)	49 yr [27-63] (P = 0.94)
Type of LTx	OLTx = 17/25	OLTx = 17/27	OLTx = 20/23
	LDLTx = 5/25	(P = 0.46¹)	(P = 0.11¹)
	Split = 3/25	LDLTx = 7/27 (P = 0.43¹)	LDLTx = 3/23 (P = 0.40¹)
		Split = 3/27 (P = 0.70¹)	Split = 0/23 (P = 0.13¹)
