Impact of body mass index on outcomes of 48281 patients undergoing first time cadaveric liver transplantation

Figure 4 Graphical representation of perioperative and 1-year mortality stratified by recipients’ body mass index. Statistical significant difference in perioperative mortality at 30 d, 60 d and 90 d post liver transplantation was found between normal weight recipients and class II and class III obese patients. At 1 year after surgery, a statistical significant difference in mortality was noted between normal weight recipient and class III obese patients. ^aP≤ 0.05. BMI: Body mass index.
