Background. In orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) distinct causes of graft failure (GF) and death with a functioning graft (DFG) exist. Prognostic factors for one failure type may be distinctly different from those predictive of other types, and an accurate portrayal of these relationships may more clearly explain each factor's importance.Methods. A multivariable cause-specific hazard (CSH) rate analysis using Cox stepwise regression was performed among 877 adults who received primary OLT during 1996-2004 with tacrolimus+steroids as immunosuppression.Results. Older donor age (P=0.004) implied greater primary dysfunction GF, while primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC; P=0.0002) implied greater vascular thrombosis GF. Recurrent nonmalignant liver disease GF was higher among hepatitis C virus patients (P
