Impact of hepatitis delta virus infection on waiting list outcomes: A competing-risks analysis

Figure 4 Sensitivity analysis of the association between hepatitis delta virus infection and competing waiting-list outcomes across alternative comparison cohorts. Adjusted cause-specific and Fine-Gray hazard ratios with 95%CI are shown for waiting-list death and liver transplantation in the full cohort (313 patients-all patient included in study), the viral nondelta cohort (266 patients-patients from delta and nondelta viral groups), and the hepatitis B virus (HBV) mono cohort (204 patients-delta and HBV monoinfection group). Hepatitis delta virus infection was associated with higher cause-specific mortality in the full and viral non-delta cohorts and with higher transplantation hazards across all comparisons. The dashed vertical line indicates a hazard ratio of 1. HBV: Hepatitis B virus.
