Abstract
Background
Early postoperative outcomes after deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) are influenced by recipient, donor, and perioperative factors. Routinely available pre-transplant laboratory tests may provide complementary information for risk assessment. This study aimed to explore associations between routine pre-transplant laboratory parameters and early postoperative outcomes after DDLT.
Methods
This retrospective single-center descriptive pilot study included 32 adult recipients who underwent DDLT for hepatitis B virus-related liver disease between 2004 and 2019. Pre-transplant biochemical and hematologic parameters were evaluated in relation to in-hospital mortality, biliary complications, infectious complications, bleeding, and hospital stay. Descriptive group comparisons and exploratory receiver operating characteristic analyses were performed.
