  1. Denominators (N) are provided in column headers; Percentages are column percentages within each Child-Pugh group after age standardization. Age-adjusted estimates were obtained by direct age standardization, using the Child-A age distribution as the standard (reference) population; Child-B and Child-C age-specific rates were weighted to match Child-A. # Linear-by-linear association (trend) test with Bonferroni-adjusted post hoc comparisons. Groups sharing the same letter (α/β/ω) are not significantly different. Significant at p < 0.05.
