Figure 1 Overview algorithm of the study patients in terms of presence or absence of HPS, listed or not listed for OLT, and outcome. Gastroenterology 2003 125, 1042-1052DOI: (10.1016/S0016-5085(03)01207-1)
Figure 2 (A) Cumulative survival rate of all the 111 patients with cirrhosis included in the study. (B) Cumulative survival of patients with (n = 27) and without HPS (n = 84). Survival was significantly different (log rank test). Gastroenterology 2003 125, 1042-1052DOI: (10.1016/S0016-5085(03)01207-1)
Figure 3 (A) Cumulative survival rate of patients with Child-Pugh class C (n = 50). Survival was significantly different (log rank test). (B) Cumulative survival rate of patients with Child-Pugh class B (n = 30). Survival was not significantly different (log rank test). No statistical analysis was performed in patients with Child-Pugh class A because only 5 patients with HPS were in this class. Gastroenterology 2003 125, 1042-1052DOI: (10.1016/S0016-5085(03)01207-1)
Figure 4 (A) Cumulative survival rate of patients who did not receive OLT (n = 90). Survival was significantly different between patients with and without HPS (log rank test). (B) Cumulative survival rate of patients who did not receive OLT and were in Child-Pugh class C (n = 40). Survival was still significantly different between patients with and without HPS (log rank test). Gastroenterology 2003 125, 1042-1052DOI: (10.1016/S0016-5085(03)01207-1)
