Long-term Outcomes and Risk Factors After Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation.
Transplantation 2018 September
BACKGROUND: Although risk factors for the long-term mortality of liver transplantation are well described, there is a lack of detailed study regarding these factors for adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).
METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 528 adult LDLT recipients in our hospital. The risk factors were analyzed for overall deaths more than 5 years post-LDLT.
RESULTS: Over the 20-year follow-up, 137 patients died. Patient survival at 1, 3, 5, and 10 years post-LDLT was 87.8%, 81.8%, 79.4%, and 72.8%, respectively. The independent risk factors for more than 5 years post-LDLT overall death were hepatocellular carcinoma recurrence (hazard ratio [HR], 38.9; P < 0.001), lymphoid de novo malignancy (HR, 47.2; P = 0.001), primary sclerosing cholangitis as primary diagnosis (HR, 11.5; P < 0.001), chronic rejection (HR, 6.93; P = 0.006), acute rejection (HR, 2.96; P = 0.017), and bile duct stenosis (HR, 2.30; P = 0.045).
CONCLUSIONS: Not only malignancies and rejection but also bile duct stenosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis had significant impacts on late period post-LDLT mortality.
