Figure 1

(A) Box and dot plot in the left panel and (B) dot plot with fitted line in the right panel show differences in pH, PaCO2, BE and HCO3− between ABO-compatible and ABO-incompatible liver transplant recipients according to the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score after propensity score matching analysis. Shaded areas in the left panel show the normal range, whereas those in the right panel depict 95% confidence intervals. #P value showing difference between the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease scores tertiles (Jonckheere-Terpstra test). *P value showing difference between ABO-compatible and ABO-incompatible liver transplant recipients (analysis of covariance test). BE, base excess; PaCO2, partial pressure of carbon dioxide.
