Novel scoring system to predict futile liver transplantation by multiterm outcomes to optimize recipient selection: retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Improvements in medical standards have allowed critically ill patients to benefit from liver transplantation, but defining futility arbitrarily according to one single-stage outcome could deprive patients of the potential benefits of transplantation. This study aimed to redefine futile liver transplantation by multiterm outcomes and develop a novel scoring system to predict futile liver transplantation.

Methods

This retrospective study in China enrolled patients who had liver transplantation from 3 centres between January 2015 and April 2021. Independent risk factors were identified by logistic regression analysis and used to establish risk prediction models. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were calculated to explore the association between futile score and overall s
