Overall actuarial survival rates of 1,000 patients treated with cyclosporine-steroid therapy in comparison with overall actual survival rates of 170 patients treated with azathioprine-steroids therapy.

Fig 2
Nearly identical survival rates between 666 adult recipients and 334 pediatric recipients since 1980.
Fig 3
Fig 3
Survival comparison among adult recipients with three most common diseases (postnecrotic cirrhosis, primary biliary cirrhosis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis) did not show any statistical difference.
Fig 4
Fig 4
Survival rates of pediatric recipients with liver-based inborn metabolic errors were nearly identical to those with postnecrotic or cryptogenic cirrhosis. Survival rates of children with biliary atresia were slightly lower than the other two diseases, but the difference was not statistically different.
Fig 5
Fig 5
Survival rates of patients with HBsAg-positive, postnecrotic cirrhosis were significantly lower than those with HBsAg-negative postnecrotic cirrhosis.
Fig 6
Fig 6
Survival rates of patients who received transplantation for primary liver malignancy were poor. However, survival rates of patients who had transplantation primarily for liver failure and whose advanced cirrhosis contained small malignancies were excellent.
Fig 7
Fig 7
Survival rates of patients with hepatoma (HCC) were significantly lower than those with fibrolamellar hepatoma (FL-HCC) and those with epitheloid hemangioendothelioma (EHE).
