Patients with ESW were significantly older [median age, 54.0 (28.0, 67.0) years] than those with LSW [median age, 50.0 (17.0, 65.0) years], had a lower incidence of rejection within the first nine months after OLT (1 (2.7%) compared to 19 (26.4%); p = 0.01), and had a trend toward significance difference in the etiology of the liver disease ( p = 0.06), primarily due to a lower prevalence of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) [0 compared to 8 (11.1%)] and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) (2 (5.4%) compared to 13 (18.1%)).
