Predictive utility of fibrinogen in acute kidney injury in living donor liver transplantation: A propensity score-matching analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study investigated the association between the fibrinogen level and the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients who have undergone living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).

Patients and methods

A total of 676 patients who underwent LDLT were analyzed retrospectively. Exclusion criteria included a history of severe kidney dysfunction, emergency operation, deceased donor, ABO-incompatible transplantation, and missing data. The study population was divided into low and normal fibrinogen groups. A 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching analysis was used to evaluate the association between a low fibrinogen level (< 160 mg/dL) and postoperative development of AKI.

Results

In total, 142 patients (23.1%) developed AKI after LDLT. The PS matching analysis showed that the probability of AKI was two-fold higher in the low fibrinogen group than in the normal fibrinogen group. In addition, patients with AKI had poorer postoperative outcomes such as longer hospitalization, longer ICU stay, and higher mortality than patients without AKI.

Conclusions

The preoperative fibrinogen level may be useful for risk stratification of patients undergoing LDLT in terms postoperative development of AKI.

Predictive role of vitamin B<sub>12</sub> in acute kidney injury in living donor liver transplantation: a propensity score matching analysis.

Project description:ObjectivesWe examine the association between vitamin B12 level and risk for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).DesignRetrospective observational cohort study.SettingUniversity hospital, from January 2009 to December 2018.ParticipantsA total of 591 patients who underwent elective LDLT were analysed in this study. Those with a preoperative history of kidney dysfunction, vitamin B12 supplementation due to alcoholism, low vitamin B12 (<200 pg/mL) or missing laboratory data were excluded.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe population was classified into AKI and non-AKI groups according to Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria, and associations between perioperative factors and AKI were analysed. After 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching, the association between high vitamin B12 (>900 pg/mL) and postoperative AKI was evaluated.ResultsPreoperative vitamin B12 was higher in the AKI group. Potentially significant perioperative factors from univariate analyses were entered into multivariate analyses, including preoperative factors (vitamin B12, diabetes), intraoperative factors (hourly urine output) and donor graft fatty change in LDLT patients. PS matching analyses with adjustment using PS revealed that high serum vitamin B12 (>900 pg/mL) was associated with risk for AKI, and the risk was 2.8-fold higher in patients with high vitamin B12 than in those with normal vitamin B12. Higher vitamin B12 was also related to a higher AKI stage. In addition, inflammatory factors (C reactive protein, white blood cells and albumin) were associated with vitamin B12 level.ConclusionsOur study may improve the accuracy of predicting postoperative AKI by introducing preoperative vitamin B12 into risk assessments for patients undergoing LDLT.

Clinical application of intraoperative somatic tissue oxygen saturation for detecting postoperative early kidney dysfunction patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation: A propensity score matching analysis.

Project description:BackgroundSomatic tissue oxygen saturation (SstO2) is associated with systemic hypoperfusion. Kidney dysfunction may lead to increased mortality and morbidity in patients who undergo living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). We investigated the clinical utility of SstO2 during LDLT for identifying postoperative kidney dysfunction.Patients and methodsData from 304 adults undergoing elective LDLT between January 2015 and February 2020 at Seoul St. Mary's Hospital were retrospectively collected. Thirty-six patients were excluded based on the exclusion criteria. In total, 268 adults were analyzed, and 200 patients were 1:1 propensity score (PS)-matched.ResultsPatients with early kidney dysfunction had significantly lower intraoperative SstO2 values than those with normal kidney function. Low SstO2 (< 66%) 1 h after graft reperfusion was more highly predictive of early kidney dysfunction than the values measured in other intraoperative phases. A decline in the SstO2 was also related to kidney dysfunction.ConclusionsKidney dysfunction after LDLT is associated with patient morbidity and mortality. Our results may assist in the detection of early kidney dysfunction by providing a basis for analyzing SstO2 in patients undergoing LDLT. A low SstO2 (< 66%), particularly 1 h after graft reperfusion, was significantly associated with early kidney dysfunction after surgery. SstO2 monitoring may facilitate the identification of early kidney dysfunction and enable early management of patients.

Acute pancreatitis risk after kidney transplantation: Propensity score matching analysis of a national cohort.

Project description:PurposeData for elucidating post-kidney transplantation (KT) acute pancreatitis (AP) risk are limited and no large-scale cohort study has investigated the impact of AP after KT.MethodData from Taiwan National Health Insurance (NHI) Research Database (NHIRD) were calculated through the method of propensity score matching to compare the pancreatitis risk in patients with and without KT.ResultsThe overall pancreatitis incidence rates were 1.71 and 0.61 per 1,000 person-years in the KT and non-KT groups, respectively and corresponding adjusted HR (aHR [95% CI]) for pancreatitis was 2.48 (1.51-4.09) in the KT group. In the multivariable model, AP risk was higher in transplant patients with alcohol-related illnesses (aHR: 3.78, 95% CI: 1.32-10.8), gall stone disease (aHR: 3.53, 95% CI: 1.48-8.44), or past history of pancreatitis (aHR: 10.3, 95% CI: 5.08-20.8). Of note, recurrent AP risk was significantly higher in the KT group (aHR: 8.19, 95% CI: 2.89-23.2). Patients with post-KT AP demonstrated shorter patient and allograft survival than did those without (both P < 0.001, respectively).ConclusionIn conclusion, KT recipients are very likely to be associated with AP. Moreover, their inferior outcomes are strongly associated with post-KT AP.

Mental health in children with living donor liver transplantation: a propensity score-matched analysis.

Project description:BackgroundThis study explored mental health of pediatric patients with living donor liver transplantation.MethodsA total of 741 children who successfully underwent living donor liver transplantation from 2009 to 2019 enrolled in this study. Participants were aged between 3 and 12 years (mean age = 5.28; SD = 2.01). The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire was used to evaluate emotional and behavioral problems. Parents completed the 5-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index and reported their child's height, weight, sleep duration, parent-child interactions, home environment, physical activities, and time spent on screen exposure. Propensity score matching method was used to generate a control group from 20,934 healthy children. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify the correlational factors in children's mental health following a liver transplantation.ResultsCompared to healthy children, patients after liver transplantation were prone to emotional problems, hyperactivity, and peer problems. Moreover, parental mental health, physical activity, and family environment were identified as factors associated with mental health of pediatric liver transplant patients.ConclusionThe findings highlight the need to focus on mental health of pediatric transplant patients, increase support for parents, and strengthen positive parent-child interactions.

The predictive value of revised diastolic dysfunction in outcomes of liver transplantation: A propensity score matching analysis.

Project description:BackgroundDiastolic dysfunction (DD), one of the earliest signs of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM), is included in the revised 2019 CCM criteria. Nonetheless, relevant research regarding the effects of revised DD on post-liver transplantation (LT) outcomes remains limited.MethodsThis retrospective study enrolled patients who underwent LT for decompensated cirrhosis, from January 2018 to March 2021. Patients were divided into DD and non-DD groups. Clinical data were collected. Patients were followed up with, for at least 1 year post-LT; cardiovascular adverse events (AEs) and survival status were recorded. Risk factors were identified using 1:2 propensity score matching (PSM), after adjusting for confounding factors. The caliper value was set to 0.02.ResultsOf 231 patients, 153 were diagnosed with DD (male, 81.8%; mean age, 51.5 ± 9.5 years). Nineteen patients with DD died within 1 year, post-LT. After PSM, 97 and 60 patients were diagnosed with and without DD, respectively. Patients with DD had longer intensive care unit (ICU) stays, higher perioperative cardiovascular AEs, and higher mortality rates than those without DD. In a multivariate analysis, interventricular septum (IVS), left atrial volume index (LAVI), and potassium levels were independent prognostic factors of perioperative cardiovascular AEs, while a decreased early diastolic mitral annular tissue velocity (e'), increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and tumor markers were predictors of mortality within 1 year post-LT after PSM (P < 0.05).ConclusionCardiac DD may contribute to perioperative cardiovascular AEs and mortality post-LT. Clinicians should be aware of decompensated cirrhosis in patients with DD.

Urinary Biomarkers in a Living Donor Kidney Transplantation Cohort-Predictive Value on Graft Function.

Project description:Early non-invasive detection and prediction of graft function after kidney transplantation is essential since interventions might prevent further deterioration. The aim of this study was to analyze the dynamics and predictive value of four urinary biomarkers: kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1), heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP), N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in a living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) cohort. Biomarkers were measured up to 9 days after the transplantation of 57 recipients participating in the VAPOR-1 trial. Dynamics of KIM-1, NAG, NGAL, and H-FABP significantly changed over the course of 9 days after transplantation. KIM-1 at day 1 and NAG at day 2 after transplantation were significant predictors for the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at various timepoints after transplantation with a positive estimate (p < 0.05), whereas NGAL and NAG at day 1 after transplantation were negative significant predictors (p < 0.05). Multivariable analysis models for eGFR outcome improved after the addition of these biomarker levels. Several donor, recipient and transplantation factors significantly affected the baseline of urinary biomarkers. In conclusion, urinary biomarkers are of added value for the prediction of graft outcome, but influencing factors such as the timing of measurement and transplantation factors need to be considered.

Adult Living-Donor Kidney Transplantation, Donor Age, and Donor-Recipient Age.

Project description:IntroductionOwing to organ shortage, the number of kidney transplantation (KT) involving older adult living donors is increasing. We aimed to investigate the effects of living-donor age and donor-recipient age differences on KT outcomes.MethodsThis single-center, retrospective cohort study involved 853 adult LDKTs performed between January 2008 and December 2018. Recipients were stratified into the following 5 groups based on donor age and donor-recipient age difference: donor age, 30 to 49 years and age difference, -10 to 15 years; donor age, 50 to 69 years and age difference, -10 to 15 years; donor age, 50 to 69 years and age difference, 15 to 40 years; donor age, 70 to 89 years and age difference, -10 to 15 years; and donor age, 70 to 89 years and age difference, 15 to 40 years (groups 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively). As a primary outcome, the risk of graft loss was investigated. The secondary outcomes were postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFRs) and mortality rates of recipients.ResultsGroup 4, representing KT between older adult donors and older adult recipients, had the highest graft loss risk and mortality. The eGFRs of the recipients from donors aged 70 to 89 years (groups 4 and 5) were significantly lower than those from donors in the other groups. Although the differences in the eGFR between groups 4 and 5 were not significant, the eGFR of group 4 was lower than that of group 5 at 6 months post-KT.ConclusionLDKTs from older adult donors to older adult recipients resulted in the worst graft survival and mortality rates.

Comparison of perioperative outcomes between pure laparoscopic surgery and open right hepatectomy in living donor hepatectomy: Propensity score matching analysis.

Project description:Pure laparoscopic donor right hepatectomy (PLDRH) is not a standard procedure for living donor liver transplantation but is safe and reproducible in the hands of experienced surgeons. However, the perioperative outcomes of PLDRH have not been fully evaluated yet. We used propensity score matching to compare the perioperative complications and postoperative short-term outcomes of donors undergoing PLDRH and open donor right hepatectomy (ODRH). A total of 325 consecutive donors who underwent elective, adult-to-adult right hepatectomy were initially screened. After propensity score matching, all patients were divided into two groups: PLDRH (n = 123) and ODRH (n = 123) groups. Perioperative complications and postoperative outcomes were compared between the two groups. Postoperative pulmonary complications were significantly more common in the ODRH than in the PLDRH group (54.5 vs. 31.7%, P < 0.001). The biliary complications (leak and stricture) were higher in PLDRH group than in the ODRH group (8% vs. 3%), but it failed to reach statistical significance (P = 0.167). Overall, surgical complication rates were similar between the two groups (P = 0.730). The opioid requirement during the first 7 postoperative days was higher in the ODRH group (686 vs. 568 mg, P < 0.001). The hospital stay and time to the first meal were shorter in the PLDRH than in the ODRH group (P = 0.003 and P < 0.001, respectively). PLDRH reduced the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications and afforded better short-term postoperative outcomes compared to ODRH. However, surgical complication rates were similar in both groups.

Impact of ABO incompatible kidney transplantation on living donor transplantation.

Project description:BackgroundABO incompatible kidney transplantation (ABOi-KT) is an important approach for overcoming donor shortages. We evaluated the effect of ABOi-KT on living donor KT.MethodsTwo nationwide transplantation databases were used. We evaluated the impact of ABOi-KT on overall living donor transplant activity and spousal donation as subgroup analysis. In addition, we compared the clinical outcome between ABOi-KT and ABO compatible KT (ABOc-KT) from spousal donor, and performed a Cox proportional hazards regression analysis to define the risk factors affecting the allograft outcomes.ResultThe introduction of ABOi-KT increased overall living donor KT by 12.2% and its portion was increased from 0.3% to 21.7% during study period. The ABOi-KT in living unrelated KT was two times higher than that of living related donor KT (17.8 vs.9.8%). Spousal donor was a major portion of living unrelated KT (77.6%) and ABOi-KT increased spousal donation from 10% to 31.5% in living donor KT. In addition, increasing rate ABOi-KT from spousal donor was 10 times higher than that of living related donor. The clinical outcome (incidence of acute rejection, allograft function, and allograft and patient survival rates) of ABOi-KT from spousal donor was comparable to that of ABOc-KT. Neither ABO incompatibility nor spousal donor was associated with acute rejection or allograft failure on multivariate analysis.ConclusionsABOi-KT increased overall living donor KT, and ABOi-KT from spousal donor is rapidly increasing with favorable clinical outcomes.

Decision aids to increase living donor kidney transplantation.

Project description:PURPOSE OF REVIEW:For the more than 636,000 adults with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in the U.S., kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment compared to dialysis. Living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) comprised 31% of kidney transplantations in 2015, an 8% decrease since 2004. We aimed to summarize the current literature on decision aids that could be used to improve LDKT rates. RECENT FINDINGS:Decision aids are evidence-based tools designed to help patients and their families make difficult treatment decisions. LDKT decision aids can help ESRD patients, patients' family and friends, and healthcare providers engage in treatment decisions and thereby overcome multifactorial LDKT barriers. SUMMARY:We identified 12 LDKT decision aids designed to provide information about LDKT, and/or to help ESRD patients identify potential living donors, and/or to help healthcare providers make decisions about treatment for ESRD or living donation. Of these, 4 were shown to be effective in increasing LDKT, donor inquiries, LDKT knowledge, and willingness to discuss LDKT. Although each LDKT decision aid has limitations, adherence to decision aid development guidelines may improve decision aid utilization and access to LDKT.
