ALB and Ascites: While MELD and Albumin-MELD scores were associated with post-HTX survival in univariable Cox regression analysis (MELD: hazard ratio [HR]: 1.06 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.00–1.12]; p = 0.040; Albumin-MELD: 1.04 [95%CI: 1.00–1.07]; p = 0.029), age, male sex, and severe ascites remained independently associated with post-HTX survival in multivariable analysis (Table 3).
