Predicting early outcomes of liver transplantation in young children: The EARLY study

Table 3 Univariate and multiple logistic regression for the secondary outcome of any severe complication after liver transplantation

Variable	Univariate logistic regression, n = 65		Multiple logistic regression, n = 62
	Odds ratio (95%CI)	P-value	Odds ratio (95%CI)	P-value
Yr	0.97 (0.83, 1.14)	0.721
Weight	1.02 (0.81, 1.29)	0.857	1.44 (0.98, 2.12)	0.064
PELD	0.96 (0.92, 1.00)	0.067
Surgeon 2 vs 1	2.96 (0.92, 9.53)	0.069	10.07 (1.49, 67.87)	0.018
Surgeon 3 vs 1	6.11 (1.52, 24.50)	0.011	17.29 (1.85, 161.4)	0.012
Surgeon 2 vs 3	0.49 (0.12, 2.03)	0.322
Surgery duration, n = 59	0.995 (0.99, 1.00)	0.043
Artery vascularity	8.96 (1.03, 77.66)	0.047
Biliary anatomy comment	8.96 (1.03, 77.66)	0.047
Highest hemoglobin day 2-5	1.04 (1.00, 1.09)	0.052
Lowest anti-thrombin day 2-5, n = 62	0.95 (0.91, 0.99)	0.019	0.92 (0.86, 0.98)	0.016
First day of furosemide, n = 541	1.23 (0.99, 1.54)	0.067
Graft type LR vs WL	0.30 (0.08, 1.15)	0.079
Graft type R/SL vs WL	0.22 (0.05, 0.95)	0.042	0.06 (0.01, 0.78)	0.032

¹If multiple regression is done with first day of furosemide (n = 54), then furosemide is not significant. Surgery duration is collinear with surgeon, so only surgeon was used in the multiple regression. LR: Living related liver graft; PELD: Pediatric end-stage liver disease score; R/SL: Reduced or split liver graft; WL: Whole liver graft.
