  Figure 2. Kaplan–Meier survival curves of overall survival rate in patients divided into four groups based on the median MELD-XI score (11.7) as the cutoff for high and low MELD-XI score and median physical function level for high and low physical function. The physical function parameters used for the analysis were grip strength (A), leg strength (B), gait speed (C), and 6MWD (D).

  Figure 3. Unadjusted hazard ratio and adjusted hazard ratio* for all-cause mortality in heart failure patients with low or high MELD-XI scores and high or low grip strength (A), leg strength (B), gait speed (C), or 6MWD (D). *Adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, left ventricular ejection fraction, New York Heart Association classification, B-type natriuretic peptide, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and current smoker. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. MELD-XI score model for end-stage liver disease excluding international normalized ratio score, 6MWD 6-min walking distance.
