In-hospital mortality of liver transplantation and risk factors: a single-center experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Liver transplantation (LT) is a life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease and acute liver failure. However, in-hospital death cannot be avoided. We designed this study to analyze patients' in-hospital mortality rate after LT and the factors correlated with in-hospital death.

Methods

The data of patients who received LT in our hospital between January 11, 2015, and November 19, 2019, were obtained from the China Liver Transplant Registry and medical records. The in-hospital mortality rate was calculated, and factors related to mortality, cause of death, and factors related to cause of death were analyzed by reviewing patients' data.

Results

A total of 529 patients who underwent cadaveric LT were enrolled in this study. Modified piggybac
