*Purpose: This study designed a prediction model for graft failure after liver transplantation.
*Methods: Multivariable logistic regression including aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TB), and international normalized ratio (INR) of prothrombin time for predicting graft failure within 2 and 4 weeks, respectively, were performed. The predictive models were evaluated with various performance measures including the area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and net reclassification improvement (NRI). Five-fold cross validation was applied for internal validation. A decision curve analysis was performed to evaluate the clinical usefulness of the models.
*Results: Data of 1539 patients were included for modeling. Logistic regression with single variable of maximum INR≥2.53 during 3 to 7 (AUC=0.9224,CI=0.8726-0.9721,P<0.0001) and maximum INR≥2.6 during 3 to 14 post-transplantation day (AUC=0.900,CI=0.8518-0.9482,P<0.0001) showed relationship to graft failure within 2 and 4 weeks, respectively. Multivariable model including log2-scaled maximum AST during 0 to 7, log2-scaled maximum TB and log2-scaled maximum INR during 3 to 7 post-transplantation day were related to graft failure within 2 weeks (AUC=0.9715,CI=0.9428-0.9993,P<0.0001) while model with log2-scaled maximum AST during 0 to 14, log2-scaled maximum TB and log2-scaled maximum INR during 3 to 14 post-transplantation day, were related to graft failure within 4 weeks (AUC=0.9669,CI=0.9476-0.9863,P<0.0001). The multivariable model showed 128.1% (CI=99.9-156.2%, P<0.0001) and 110.5% (CI=80.7-140.2%, P<0.0001) of improvement in net reclassification improvement compared to INR model in predicting graft failure within 2 and 4 weeks, respectively. Based on Youden’s index method, predictive probability of 5.62% (sensitivity=92.1%, specificity=95.8%) and 6.69% (sensitivity=87.0%, specificity=95.2%) were cut-offs for graft failure within 2 and 4 weeks, respectively. Net benefit analysis showed that 72.7% and 76.9% were the cut-offs with a net-zero benefit for graft failure within 2 and 4 weeks, respectively.
*Conclusions: Predicted probability of 5.62% and 6.69% calculated by our model can be considered as cut-offs where decision for re-transplantation shows highest advantages.
