Temporal Trends and Outcomes in Liver Transplantation for Recipients With HIV Infection in Europe and United States.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We evaluated trends and outcomes of liver transplantation (LT) recipients with/without HIV infection.

Methods

LT recipients between 2008 and 2015 from the United Network for Organ Sharing and Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network and European Liver Transplant Registry were included. Trends and characteristics related to survival among LT recipients with HIV infection were determined.

Results

Among 73 206 LT patients, 658 (0.9%) were HIV-infected. The proportion of LT HIV-infected did not change over time (P-trend = 0.16). Hepatitis C virus (HCV) as indication for LT decreased significantly for HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected patients (P-trends = 0.008 and <0.001). Three-year cumulative graft survival in LT recipients with and without HIV infection w
