Figure 1 Unadjusted analysis, Kaplan-Meier curves of graft survival in split and whole-liver transplantation. (A) All donors (1995–2010). (B) Donor age restricted (only donors 40 years or younger, 1995–2010). (C) Effect of Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) on transplant type (donors 40 years and younger, 1995–2010). (D) Split type in pre-MELD era (donors 40 years or younger, 1995–1/2002). (E) Split type in post-MELD era (donors 40 years or younger, February 2002–2010). (F) Effect of status 1 on transplant type (donors 40 years or younger, 1995–2010). (G) Effect of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exception on transplant type (donors 40 years or younger, 2002–2010).
