The effect of fatty liver graft on early prognosis of post liver transplantation in adults / 中华普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the effect of fatty liver graft on early poor prognosis in postoperative liver transplant adult patients.Methods The clinical data of 125 adult patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) from fatty liver graft from January 2008 to October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into poor-prognosis group and non-poor-prognosis group.18 clinical factors were compared between these two groups by single factor and multiple factor Logistic regression analysis.Results Degree of steatosis (x2 =10.088,P =0.004),recipients' age (t =-3.917,P =0.002),pre-LTserum creatinine values (Z =-2.623,P =0.009),liver warm ischemia time (Z =-2.305,P =0.021),cold ischemia time (Z =-3.394,P =0.001) were identified to be statistically significant by the single factor analysis (P ＜ 0.05);By multivariate stepwise Logistic regression analysis on the above parameters,cold ischemia time (x2 =10.141,P =0.001,OR =1.003) and degree of steatosis (x2 =8.360,P =0.004,OR =4.619) were found as the independent risk factors,into the regression equationY =0.003 × cold ischemia time + 1.530 × degree of steatosis-4.243.Conclusions Donor liver cold ischemia time,degree of steatosis are independent risk factors for poor prognosis in early stage after liver transplantation.
