Table 1 Baseline demographic and clinical characteristics of the 340 patients evaluated for liver transplantation for complications of cirrhosis. Data are shown as mean ± standard deviation or percentage unless otherwise specified. Patients who died within 90-days without LT and those who survived at least 90-days without LT are compared (8 patients underwent LT within 90-days and were excluded)
