A retrospective cohort study of preoperative lipid indices and their impact on new-onset diabetes after liver transplantation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The correlation between preoperative lipid profiles and new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) remains relatively unexplored in liver transplant recipients (LTRs). Thus, we aimed to investigate the preoperative lipid profiles in Chinese LTRs and evaluate the different influences of preoperative total cholesterol, total triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol on the development of NODAT in both sexes.

Methods

A total of 767 Chinese LTRs from Zhongshan Hospital were retrospectively evaluated. NODAT was defined according to the American Diabetes Association guidelines; the relationship between each preoperative lipid index and NODAT development was analyzed separately in men and women.
