A pretransplant waiting period of 5 days is linked to increased mortality rates.
Postoperative gastrointestinal bleeding is an independent predictor of mortality outcomes.
Analysis focused on patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure for living donor liver transplantation.
Further studies are necessary to validate these significant findings regarding waiting times.
Abstract
A pretransplant waiting period of 5 days predicted mortality; furthermore, postoperative GI bleeding was an independent predictor of mortality. Further studies are required to confirm these findings.
