Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) Does Not Predict Outcomes after Liver Transplant (LT) for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)
Hepatology, UCSF, San Francisco.
Background: A high preoperative NLR ≥5 has been reported to predict poor outcomes following LT for HCC, and NLR has been incorporated into several prognostic…2018 American Transplant Congress
Hospitalization and Life Support before Liver Transplantation – Easily Available Predictors for Post-Transplant Patient Survival
IntroductionCurrently liver allocation -in contrast to allocation of other organs- is based on urgency in many countries and survival benefit is not included. Aim of…2018 American Transplant Congress
The Effect of Donor-Recipient Gender Matches on Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Surgery, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
PurposeSome investigators reported that the donor-recipient gender mismatches influence on long-term graft survival after deceased donor liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to…2018 American Transplant Congress
Trends, Patterns, and Recipient Outcomes of Kidney Transplants from Older (>60) Living Donors. A UNOS Database Analysis
Indiana University, Indianapolis.
Backgroud: The selection of older donors (>60 years) has become more common. Our aim was to analyze the recent national trends of such donors and…2018 American Transplant Congress
Program-Specific Survival from Listing: Variability and Association with Pretransplant and Posttransplant Metrics
Transplant program performance assessment has traditionally focused on posttransplant outcomes. However, the survival benefit conferred by transplant offers a compelling reason to broaden program assessment…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Total Graft Steatotic Mass in Liver Transplant Outcomes
INTRODUCTIONGraft steatosis is a risk factor for early allograft dysfunction (EAD) and is thought to portend inferior transplant outcomes. The impact of total steatosis, combining…2018 American Transplant Congress
Increased Length of Stay of the Donor Decreases Heart Transplant Recipient Survival
Purpose: We hypothesize that the longer the cardiac donor is in the hospital prior to procurement, the worse the heart transplant (tx) recipient outcome for…2018 American Transplant Congress
Liver Transplantation for Locally Advanced Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Treated with Neoadjuvant Therapy: A Pilot Cohort Study
1Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, TX; 2MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX.
INTRODUCTIONIntrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (iCCA) is a well-recognized contraindication for liver transplantation (LT). Recent reports indicate favorable LT outcomes for early iCCA (<2cm), but, poor survival persists…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Providing Care Locally Compared to at a Transplant Center for Pre-And Posttransplant Liver Patients
There is a potential to improve patient satisfaction as well as access to liver transplantation (LT). AIM: This study evaluated outcomes of LT recipients whose…2018 American Transplant Congress
Impact of Preserved Collateral Veins on Small-for-Size Grafts in Living Donor Liver Transplantation
Center for Liver Cancer, National Cancer Center Research Institute, Goyang, Republic of Korea.
Purpose: Graft size is a critical issue in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We hypothesized that too much portal flow could possibly be diverted into…
