An Innovative Approach to Assessing the Psychosocial Impacts on Liver Transplant Recipients: The Prediction-by-correspondence Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Innovative analytic techniques are applied to the psychological functioning of liver transplant (LT) recipients to comprehend its effect on post-transplant survival, hypothesizing that adherence will be predicted by psychosocial functioning.

Methods

The psychosocial functioning of 248 LT recipients (88 females) aged 19 to 74 is assessed using the Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplantation (SIPAT). In addition, the Medication Level Variability Index (MLVI) and biopsy-proven rejection are utilized to evaluate successful adherence. The Z-scores of the SIPAT scores are used to transform them into an ordinal variable with excellent, good, minimally acceptable, and poor categories. We employ a modified version of correspondence analysis to predict t
