¹Four patients initially outside of Milan criteria, subsequently listed and transplanted after reassessment and locoregional treatment;

²P values from χ² tests (two-sided) and fischer for overall race effect followed by pairwise comparisons, for P < 0.05. A significance level of 0.05 was used for the overall race comparisons.

^aP < 0.05;

^bP < 0.001. P values were not calculated for n < 5. AW: African American compared to Whites.
