3. Figure 1
Unadjusted survival analyses for patient subgroups defined by exposure to lipid-lowering agents. (A) OS comparing existing users with statin-naïve subjects. (B) OS comparing existing users and statin-naïve subjects subdivided as new initiators and non-initiators. (C–D) As in (B), with CTP A or B class only. (E) Event-free survival for hepatic decompensation or HCC in CTP A class only and (F) MACEs in CTP A class only. HRs were generated by Cox proportional hazard models and P values were analyzed by log-rank test. Plots exclude incident events occurring within 180 days of follow-up. OS, overall survival.

Correlation of total cholesterol with parameters of hepatic function. Median, interquartile range, and 95% CIs (boxplots) across total cholesterol categories in statin-naïve patients of (A) platelet count and (B) serum albumin. Distribution of (C) CTP score and (D) MELDNa scores for each cholesterol quintile. (E) Boxplots showing distribution of total cholesterol levels across CTP classes. (F) Kaplan-Meier curves for overall survival across total cholesterol strata with P value by log-rank test.
