Figure 2 Kaplan-Meier overall survival functions of liver transplant recipients during the first 5 years stratified by their body mass index.
Log rank (Mantel-Cox) test over strata showed significant survival difference (P = 0.004). In comparison to normal weight recipients, underweight recipients (P = 0.034) and class III obese patients (P = 0.001) experienced significant lower probability of overall survival. BMI: Body mass index; LT: Liver transplantation.
