Rachel J. Berkowitz, Milo C. Engoren, Graciela Mentz, Pratima Sharma, Sathish S. Kumar, Ryan Davis, Sachin Kheterpal, Christopher J. Sonnenday, Nicholas J. Douville – 30 January 2022 – Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most common complications of liver transplantation (LT). We examined the impact of intraoperative management on risk for AKI following LT. In this retrospective observational study, we linked data from the electronic health record with standardized transplant outcomes.

Portal vein complications and outcomes following pediatric liver transplantation: Data from the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation

James P. Stevens, Yijin Xiang, Traci Leong, Kushal Naik, Nitika Arora Gupta – 28 January 2022 – Children who undergo liver transplantation are at risk for portal vein complications (PVCs) including thrombosis (PVT) and stenosis (PVS). Using multicenter data from the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation, we analyzed the prevalence, timing, and risk factors for PVC following a first liver transplantation, and assessed the potential impact of PVC on patient outcomes. Our cohort included 4278 patients, of whom 327 (7.6%) developed PVC.
