| 2 | Trends and outcomes of liver transplantation among older recipients in the United States显示文摘BACKGROUND The average age of recipients and donors of liver transplantation(LT)is increasing.Although there has been a change in the indications for LT over the years,data regarding the trends and outcomes of LT in the older population is limited.AIM To assess the clinical characteristics,age-related trends,and outcomes of LT among the older population in the United States.METHODS We analyzed data from the United Network for Organ Sharing database between 1987-2019.The sample was split into younger group(18-64 years old)and older group(≥65 years old).RESULTS Between 1987-2019,155758 LT were performed in the United States.During this period there was a rise in median age of the recipients and percentage of LT recipients who were older than 65 years increased(P<0.05)with the highest incidence of LT among older population seen in 2019(1920,23%).Common primary etiologies of liver disease leading to LT in older patients when compared to the younger group,were non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(16.4%vs 5.9%),hepatocellular carcinoma(14.9%vs 6.9%),acute liver failure(2.5%vs 5.2%),hepatitis C cirrhosis(HCV)(19.2%vs 25.6%)and acute alcoholic hepatitis(0.13%vs 0.35%).In older recipient group female sex and Asian race were higher,while model for end-stage liver disease(MELD)score and rates of preoperative mechanical ventilation were lower(P<0.01).Median age of donor,female sex,body mass index(BMI),donor HCV positive status,and donor risk index(DRI)were significantly higher in older group(P<0.01).In univariable analysis,there was no difference in post-transplant length of hospitalization,one-year,three-year and five-year graft survivals between the two groups.In multivariable Cox-Hazard regression analysis,older group had an increased risk of graft failure during the five-year post-transplant period(hazard ratio:1.27,P<0.001).Other risk factors for graft failure among recipients were male sex,African American race,re-transplantation,presence of diabetes,mechanical ventilation at the time of LT,higher MELD score,presence of portal vein thrombosis,HCV positive status,and higher DRI.CONCLUSION While there is a higher risk of graft failure in older recipient population,age alone should not be a contraindication for LT.Careful selection of donors and recipients along with optimal management of risk factors during the postoperative period are necessary to maximize the transplant outcomes in this population. | Kenji Okumura Joon Sub Lee Abhay Dhand Hiroshi Sogawa Gregory Veillette Devon John Ryosuke Misawa Roxana Bodin David C Wolf Thomas Diflo Seigo Nishida | 2022 | World Journal of Transplantation2022,12,8: | 0 |
| 3 | Inferior outcomes of liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma during early-COVID-19 pandemic in the United States显示文摘BACKGROUND Early in the coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)pandemic,there was a significant impact on routine medical care in the United States,including in fields of transplantation and oncology.AIM To analyze the impact and outcomes of early COVID-19 pandemic on liver transplantation(LT)for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)in the United States.METHODS WHO declared COVID-19 as a pandemic on March 11,2020.We retrospectively analyzed data from the United Network for Organ Sharing(UNOS)database regarding adult LT with confirmed HCC on explant in 2019 and 2020.We defined pre-COVID period from March 11 to September 11,2019,and early-COVID period as from March 11 to September 11,2020.RESULTS Overall,23.5%fewer LT for HCC were performed during the COVID period(518 vs 675,P<0.05).This decrease was most pronounced in the months of March-April 2020 with a rebound in numbers seen from May-July 2020.Among LT recipients for HCC,concurrent diagnosis of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis significantly increased(23 vs 16%)and alcoholic liver disease(ALD)significantly decreased(18 vs 22%)during the COVID period.Recipient age,gender,BMI,and MELD score were statistically similar between two groups,while waiting list time decreased during the COVID period(279 days vs 300 days,P=0.041).Among pathological characteristics of HCC,vascular invasion was more prominent during COVID period(P<0.01),while other features were the same.While the donor age and other characteristics remained same,the distance between donor and recipient hospitals was significantly increased(P<0.01)and donor risk index was significantly higher(1.68 vs 1.59,P<0.01)during COVID period.Among outcomes,90-day overall and graft survival were the same,but 180-day overall and graft were significantly inferior during COVID period(94.7 vs 97.0%,P=0.048).On multivariable Coxhazard regression analysis,COVID period emerged as a significant risk factor of post-transplant mortality(Hazard ratio 1.85;95%CI:1.28-2.68,P=0.001).CONCLUSION During COVID period,there was a significant decrease in LTs performed for HCC.While early postoperative outcomes of LT for HCC were same,the overall and graft survival of LTs for HCC after 180 days were significantly inferior. | Inkyu S Lee Kenji Okumura Ryosuke Misawa Hiroshi Sogawa Gregory Veillette Devon John Thomas Diflo Seigo Nishida Abhay Dhand | 2023 | World Journal of Hepatology2023,15,4: | 0 |
