BCHE and Ascites: To evaluate factors associated with presence of ascites/death 1 year after HTX, logistic regressions were calculated, demonstrating that severe ascites (HR: 7.20 [95%CI: 1.94–26.68]; p = 0.003), cholinesterase (HR: 0.75 [95%CI: 0.61–0.92]; p = 0.007) as well as MELD (HR: 1.09 [95%CI: 1.02–1.16]; p = 0.007) and MELD-XI scores (HR: 1.10 [95%CI: 1.02–1.18]; p = 0.012) were associated with the combined secondary endpoint of interest.
