After fitting univariable Gray PC-TVC models, covariates that were statistically significant at the level of 0.15 included recipient characteristics (age, female gender, race (recoded as black versus non-black); laboratory values (albumin, bilirubin, creatinine) at time of transplant; positive CMV; use of a ventilator at time of transplant; presence of ascites at transplant); donor characteristics (age, blood type, race/ethnicity); and recipient-donor blood type compatibility. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and Ascites.
