Table 4

Association between type of graft and hospital length of stay.

Hospital
LOS >13 days	OR (95% CI)	value
n = 198
VLCD donor	1.1 (0.5–2.3)	0.9
MELD score (per point)
<16	Ref	1
16–22	1.6 (0.8–3.2)	0.2
≥22	4 (1.9–8.4)	<0.01
Age ≥ 60 years	1.4 (0.8–2.6)	0.2

LOS, length of stay; MELD, model for end-stage liver disease. Results of the logistic regression are expressed in odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).
