Usage

et_dri(age, cod, dcd, split, share, cit, ggt, rescue)

Arguments

age

numeric vector of patient ages in years

cod

character string vector of donor causes of death, one of "trauma", "anoxia", "cva" or "other"

dcd

numeric vector of whether DCD (1 = yes, 0 = no)

split

numeric vector of whether liver split (1 = yes, 0 = no)

share

character string vector of type of sharing, one of "local", regional" or "national"

cit

numeric vector of cold ischaemic times in hours

numeric vector of whether rescue transplant (1 = yes, 0 = no)
