Patient survival after tertiary liver transplantation

Five-Year Survival After Liver Transplantation.

THROUGH 1979, immunosuppressive therapy for liver transplantation at our center was with azathioprine (or cyclophosphamide) and steroids, to which antilymphocyte gloublin (ALG) was usually added. 13 Failure was more frequent than success. Nevertheless, 55 (32.4%) of the first 170 recipients treated from 1963 on in Denver survived for more than a year, and 31 (18.2%) passed or are just reaching ...

Determinants of Long-Term Graft and Patient Survival after Transplantation of Kidney and Liver

Artificial Neural Networks in Prediction of Patient Survival after Liver Transplantation

Predicting the survival of patients after liver transplantation is one of the challenging areas in the field of medicine. The ultimate curative treatment for the last stage liver disease is the liver transplantation. While going for any transplantation, everybody will think about the survival. This paper summarizes the prediction of survival of patients undergoing liver transplantation in both ...

Clinicopathologic factors affecting patient survival and tumor recurrence after orthotopic liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma.

THE role and value of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLTx) in the treatment of primary hepatic malignancies have been debated because of high tumor recurrence rates.l-I Certain clinicopathologic entities have been shown to influence patient survival rates for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).3.4 In the current study, we analyzed various histopathologic features in the livers of 106 liver trans...

Modified Charlson comorbidity index for predicting survival after liver transplantation.

The benefit of liver transplantation (LT) is determined not only by the severity of illness, but also by the likelihood of posttransplantation survival. Current models are unable to accurately predict which patients will have the best posttransplant survival. We hypothesized that the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), which includes nine comorbidities, could be used to predict survival after LT....
