Developing a Novel Scoring System for Risk Stratification in Living Donor Liver Transplantation.

ABSTRACT: We aimed to develop a novel scoring system for risk stratification specific to living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) recipients, to improve the accuracy of predicting short-term outcomes. The sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at postoperative day 7 was collected and simplified by dichotomization, and these categories and other clinical factors were subjected to univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses to select independent risks in constructing a "graft-to-recipient weight ratio (GRWR)-SOFA" scoring system. We enrolled 519 patients who underwent LDLT. The GRWR-SOFA score comprises a sum of six factors: cardiovascular (mean arterial pressure < 70 mmHg, scored 3), coagulation (serum platelet < 50 × 103/μL, scored 2), renal (creatinine > 1.2 mg/dL, scored 2)
