Box plot illustrating androgens in survivor and patients who experienced the composite outcome of death or transplant. The composite outcome (n = 55) was associated with lower total testosterone (P < 0.001, A), sex-hormone-binding globulin (P < 0.001, B), free testosterone index (P = 0.032, C) and higher cortisol (P = 0.007, E), androstenedione (P = 0.038, F) compared with those survived without transplant (n = 105). The dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate level was similar among those two groups (P = 0.686, D). TT total testosterone, SHBG sex-hormone-binding globulin, FTI free testosterone index, DHEAS dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, AND androstenedione, SQRT Square Root
