A retrospective cohort study of preoperative lipid indices and their impact on new-onset diabetes after liver transplantation.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:The correlation between preoperative lipid profiles and new-onset diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) remains relatively unexplored in liver transplant recipients (LTRs). Thus, we aimed to investigate the preoperative lipid profiles in Chinese LTRs and evaluate the different influences of preoperative total cholesterol, total triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol on the development of NODAT in both sexes. METHODS:A total of 767 Chinese LTRs from Zhongshan Hospital were retrospectively evaluated. NODAT was defined according to the American Diabetes Association guidelines; the relationship between each preoperative lipid index and NODAT development was analyzed separately in men and women. RESULTS:Pretransplant hypotriglyceridemia was observed in 35.72% of the total LTRs. In men, only the preoperative TG level was significantly associated with incident NODAT after adjusting for potential confounders (hazard ratio 1.37, 95% confidence interval 1.13-1.66, P = .001). There was a nonlinear relationship between the preoperative TG level and NODAT risk. The risk of NODAT significantly increased with preoperative a TG level above 0.54 mmol/L (log-likelihood ratio test, P = .043). In women, no significant association was observed. CONCLUSION:Among male LTRs, a higher preoperative TG level, even at a low level within the normal range, was significantly and nonlinearly associated with an increased risk of NODAT.

Project description:AbstractPancreatectomy is an invasive surgery that is sometimes associated with complications. New-onset diabetes mellitus sometimes develops after partial pancreatectomy and severely affects the patient's quality of life. This study aimed to develop a preoperative prediction model of new-onset diabetes mellitus after partial pancreatectomy, which will help patients and surgeons to achieve more easily better common decisions on regarding whether to perform partial pancreatectomy. This retrospective cohort study analyzed medical records of patients who underwent partial pancreatectomy (total pancreatectomy excluded) from April 1, 2008, to February 28, 2016, which were available in the database provided by Medical Data Vision Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan). The predictors were preoperative age, body mass index, hemoglobin A1c level, blood glucose level, and indication for partial pancreatectomy. The outcome was the development of new-onset diabetes mellitus at 1 to 12 months after partial pancreatectomy. We used a logistic regression model and calculated the scores of each predictor. To determine test performance, we assessed discrimination ability using the receiver operating characteristic curve and calibration with a calibration plot and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test. We also performed internal validation using the bootstrap method. Of 681 patients, 125 (18.4%) had new-onset diabetes mellitus after partial pancreatectomy. The developed prediction model had a possible range of 0 to 46 points. The median score was 13, and the interquartile range was 9 to 22. The C-statistics of the receiver operating characteristic curve on the score to predict the outcome was .70 (95% confidence interval [CI], .65-.75). Regarding the test performance, the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was not significant (P = .17), and calibration was good. In the bootstrapped cohorts, the C-statistics was .69 (95% CI, .62-.76). We developed a preoperative prediction model for new-onset diabetes mellitus after partial pancreatectomy. This would provide important information for surgeons and patients when deciding whether to perform partial pancreatectomy.

Project description:BackgroundThe number of lung transplantation procedures is rapidly increasing worldwide. Little is known about the effect of perioperative respiratory microbial colonization on pneumonia during lung transplantation. We evaluated the microbiome composition and incidence of early pneumonia in patients undergoing lung transplantation. We investigated factors related to post-transplant pneumonia (PTP) after lung transplantation.MethodsA retrospective analysis of patients subjected to lung transplantation between May 2013 and December 2019 was performed. Perioperative microbial colonization, and its relationship with early pneumonia, were examined in specimens from bronchial washing, bronchoalveolar lavage, and sputum aspiration before and after surgery. One-year mortality, as the primary outcome, was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier curve model.ResultsAmong 76 patients who underwent lung transplantation, 34 donors (44.7%) and 28 recipients (36.8%) showed positive respiratory cultures with respect to preoperative respiratory colonization. A separate analysis of donors and recipients showed that 42 donors and 48 recipients were in respiratory non-colonized state, and 28 (53.8%) donors and 36 (69.2%) recipients survived 1 year after lung transplantation. Acinectobacter baumannii was the most common respiratory multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogen. PTP was significantly lower in the survivor group (38.5% vs. 70.8%, P=0.009). Out of the recipients with preoperative respiratory colonization, 57.1% survived 1 year after lung transplantation. Patients with PTP had significantly higher 1-year mortality than those without PTP (P=0.009). Preoperative respiratory colonization of the recipients (P=0.010) and PTP patients (P=0.005) was associated with high 1-year mortality rate. Perioperative respiratory colonization of donors was not associated with the incidence of PTP and 1-year survival.ConclusionsPerioperative colonization of recipients was a powerful predictive factor for PTP, which was associated with 1-year mortality in patients subjected to lung transplantation. Our results suggest that donor acceptance criteria may change to better address potential shortages in organ donation.

Project description:Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) is an X-linked defect of ureagenesis and the most common urea cycle disorder. Patients present with hyperammonemia causing neurological symptoms, which can lead to coma and death. Liver transplantation (LT) is the only curative therapy, but has several limitations including organ shortage, significant morbidity and requirement of lifelong immunosuppression. This study aims to identify the characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent LT for OTCD. We conducted a retrospective study for OTCD patients from 5 UK centres receiving LT in 3 transplantation centres between 2010 and 2022. Patients' demographics, family history, initial presentation, age at LT, graft type and pre- and post-LT clinical, metabolic, and neurocognitive profile were collected from medical records. A total of 20 OTCD patients (11 males, 9 females) were enrolled in this study. 6/20 had neonatal and 14/20 late-onset presentation. 2/20 patients had positive family history for OTCD and one of them was diagnosed antenatally and received prospective treatment. All patients were managed with standard of care based on protein-restricted diet, ammonia scavengers and supplementation with arginine and/or citrulline before LT. 15/20 patients had neurodevelopmental problems before LT. The indication for LT was presence (or family history) of recurrent metabolic decompensations occurring despite standard medical therapy leading to neurodisability and quality of life impairment. Median age at LT was 10.5 months (6-24) and 66 months (35-156) in neonatal and late onset patients, respectively. 15/20 patients had deceased donor LT (DDLT) and 5/20 had living related donor LT (LDLT). Overall survival was 95% with one patient dying 6 h after LT. 13/20 had complications after LT and 2/20 patients required re-transplantation. All patients discontinued dietary restriction and ammonia scavengers after LT and remained metabolically stable. Patients who had neurodevelopmental problems before LT persisted to have difficulties after LT. 1/5 patients who was reported to have normal neurodevelopment before LT developed behavioural problems after LT, while the remaining 4 maintained their abilities without any reported issues. LT was found to be effective in correcting the metabolic defect, eliminates the risk of hyperammonemia and prolongs patients' survival.
