Project description:BackgroundAfter liver transplantation primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), the condition returns in the transplanted liver in a subset of patients (recurrent primary sclerosing cholangitis, rPSC).AimTo define risk factors for rPSC.MethodsWe searched Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane library for articles published until March 2018. Studies addressing risk factors for developing rPSC were eligible for inclusion. A random effects meta-analysis was conducted using hazard ratios (HR) as effect measure. Study quality was evaluated with the Newcastle Ottawa scale. Statistical analysis was performed using Cochrane Review Manager.ResultsThe electronic database search yielded 449 results. Twenty-one retrospective cohort studies met the inclusion criteria for the review; 14 were included in the meta-analysis. The final cohort included 2159 patients (age range 31-49 years, 68.8% male), of whom 17.7% developed rPSC. Colectomy before liver transplantation, HR 0.65 (95% CI: 0.42-0.99), cholangiocarcinoma before liver transplantation, HR 2.42 (95% CI: 1.20-4.86), inflammatory bowel disease, HR 1.73 (95% CI: 1.17-2.54), donor age, HR 1.24 (95% CI 1.0-1.45) per ten years, MELD score, HR 1.05 (95% CI: 1.02-1.08) per point and acute cellular rejection, HR of 1.94 (95% CI: 1.32-2.83) were associated with the risk of rPSC.ConclusionsMultiple risk factors for rPSC were identified. Colectomy before liver transplantation reduced the risk of rPSC.

Project description:The rate of alcohol relapse among patients who underwent liver transplantation for alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is not precisely known.Synthesize the available evidence on liver transplantation for AH to assess alcohol relapse and 6-month survival.Meta-analysis of trials evaluating liver transplantation for AH, either clinically severe or diagnosed on the explant.Eleven studies were included. The pooled estimate rate for alcohol relapse was 0.22 (95% CI = 0.12-0.36) in overall analysis with high heterogeneity between studies (I2 = 76%), 0.20 (95% CI = 0.07-0.43) in the subgroup analysis including patients with clinically severe AH (I2 = 84%), 0.14 (95% CI = 0.08-0.23) among patients with clinically severe AH in sensitivity analysis excluding the discrepant studies that did not use stringent selection criteria for liver transplantation (I2 = 0%), and 0.15 (95% CI = 0.07-0.27) for recurrent harmful alcohol consumption among patients with clinically severe AH (I2 = 3%). The risk of alcohol relapse was not different between AH transplanted patients and patients with alcoholic cirrhosis who underwent elective liver transplantation in sensitivity analysis excluding the discrepant studies (OR = 1.68, 95%CI = 0.79-3.58, p = 0.2, I2 = 16%). The pooled estimate rate for 6-month survival was 0.85 (95% CI = 0.77-0.91, I2 = 49%), and 0.80 among patients transplanted for clinically severe AH (95% CI = 0.69-0.88, I2 = 30%). AH transplanted patients had similar 6-month survival to patients with alcoholic cirrhosis who underwent elective liver transplantation (OR = 2.00, 95% CI = 0.95-4.23, p = 0.07, I2 = 0%).Using stringent selection criteria, 14% of patients with clinically severe AH have alcohol relapse after liver transplantation. The percentage of alcohol relapse of AH transplanted patients is similar than that of patients who underwent elective liver transplantation.

Project description:BackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and critical complication of liver transplantation (LT), which is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and health care cost. We aimed to identify modifiable risk factors of AKI after LT.MethodsA literature search of Pubmed, EMBASE and Cochrane Databases was performed to identify studies investigating risk factors of AKI after LT. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was used to rate study quality. Effect size and 95% confidence interval were pooled using a random-effect model with inverse-variance method.ResultsSixty-seven articles with 28,844 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Seventeen modifiable risk factors were found, including overweight, preoperative use of diuretic, preoperative anemia, donation after cardiac death organ, donor BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2, ABO-incompatible LT, low graft to recipient body weight ratio, intraoperative hypotension, major bleeding, intraoperative use of vasopressor, large RBC transfusion, postreperfusion syndrome, postoperative use of vasopressors, overexposure to calcineurin inhibitor, calcineurin inhibitor without mycophenolate mofetil, graft dysfunction and infection. A total of 38 articles were included in the systematic review, in which 8 modifiable risk factors and 1 protective factor were additionally associated in single studies with the incidence of AKI after LT.ConclusionsEffective interventions based on identified modifiable risk factors in the perioperative management and graft allocation and preservation may be promising to reduce the incidence of AKI after LT.Trial registrationThe protocol for this systematic review is registered with PROSPERO (No. CRD42020166918 ).

Project description:ObjectivesThe objective of this study was to estimate the risk of recurrent obstetric anal sphincter injury (rOASI) in women who have suffered anal sphincter injury in their previous pregnancy and analyse risk factors for recurrence through a systematic review and meta-analysis.Data sourcesA review was performed according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Searches were made in Ovid MEDLINE (1996 to May 2015), PubMed, EMBASE and Google Scholar, including bibliographies and conference proceedings.Methods of study selectionObservational studies (cohort/case-control) evaluating rOASI and risk factors were selected by two reviewers who also analysed methodological quality of those studies. Pooled odds ratios (OR) for rOASI and individual risk factors were calculated using RevMan 5.3.Tabulation, integration and resultsFrom the eight studies assessed, overall risk of rOASI was 6.3 % compared with a 5.7 % risk of OASI in the first pregnancy. The risk in parous women with no previous OASI was 1.5 %. Factors that increased the risk in a future pregnancy were instrumental delivery with forceps [OR 3.12, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 2.42-4.01) or ventouse (OR 2.44, 95 % CI 1.83-3.25), previous fourth-degree tear (OR 1.7, 95 % CI 1.24-2.36) and birth weight ?4 kg (OR 2.29, 95 % CI 2.06-2.54). Maternal age ?35 years marginally increased the risk (OR 1.16, 95 % CI 1-1.35).ConclusionThe overall rate of rOASI and associated risk factors for recurrence are similar to the rate and risk factors of primary OASI. Antenatal decisions could be based on assessment of foetal weight and intrapartum decisions based upon the requirement for an instrumental delivery.

Project description:It is known that lifestyle factors affect sporadic miscarriage, but the extent of this on RPL (recurrent pregnancy loss) is less well known. A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to assess the associations between lifestyle factors and RPL. Studies that analysed RPL in the context of BMI, smoking, alcohol and caffeine intake were included. The primary and secondary outcomes were odds of having RPL in the general population and odds of further miscarriage, respectively. Underweight and women with BMI > 25 are at higher odds of RPL in the general population (OR 1.2, 95% CI 1.12-1.28 and OR 1.21, 95% CI 1.06-1.38, respectively). In women with RPL, having BMI > 30 and BMI > 25 has increased odds of further miscarriages (OR 1.77, 95% CI 1.25-2.50 and OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.07-1.72, respectively). The quality of the evidence for our findings was low or very low. Being underweight and BMI > 25 contributes significantly to increased risk of RPL (general population). BMI > 25 or BMI > 30 increases the risk of further miscarriages (RPL population). Larger studies addressing the effects of alcohol, cigarette smoking and caffeine on the risk of RPL with optimisation of BMI in this cohort of women are now needed.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:With expansion of the pool of kidney grafts, through the use of higher-risk donors, and increased attention to donor management strategies, the 1-year graft survival rate is subject to change. It is, therefore, useful to elucidate 1-year graft survival rates by dissecting the characteristics of the low-risk and high-risk kidney transplant cases. The objective of our study was to evaluate factors purported to influence the risk of 1-year graft loss in kidney transplant recipients. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS:We searched bibliographic databases from 2000 to 2017 and included observational studies that measured the association between donor, recipient, the transplant operation, or early postoperative complications, and 1-year death-censored graft loss. RESULTS:We identified 35 eligible primary studies, with 20 risk factors amenable to meta-analysis. Six factors were associated with graft loss, with moderate to high degree of certainty: donor age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.11 per 10-year increase; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.04 to 1.18), extended criteria donors (HR, 1.35; 95% CI, 1.28 to 1.42), deceased donors (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.32 to 1.82), number of HLA mismatches (HR, 1.08 per one mismatch increase; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.09), recipient age (HR, 1.17 per 10-year increase; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.25), and delayed graft function (HR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.46 to 2.47) as risk factors for 1-year graft loss. Pooled analyses also excluded, with a high degree of certainty, any associations of cold ischemia time, recipient race, pretransplant body mass index, diabetes, and hypertension with 1-year graft loss. CONCLUSIONS:Recipient age, donor age, standard versus extended criteria donor, living versus deceased donor, HLA mismatch, and delayed graft function all predicted 1-year graft survival. The effect of each risk factor is small.

Project description:BACKGROUND Expanded clinical and surgical techniques in liver transplantation can markedly improve patient and graft survival. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative portocaval shunts in liver transplantation. MATERIAL AND METHODS Searches were conducted in Cochrane, MEDLINE, and EMBASE databases, and updated in January 2018. The following specific outcomes of interest were defined and evaluated separated using 2 different reviews and meta-analyses for 1) hemi-portocaval shunt (HPCS) and 2) temporary portocaval shunt (TPCS). Comparative studies were analyzed separately for both surgical portocaval shunt modalities. RESULTS Only 1 well-designed randomized controlled trial was found. Most studies were retrospective or prospective. Initially, we found 1479 articles. Of those selected, 853 were from PubMed/MEDLINE, 32 were from Cochrane and 594 were from EMBASE. Our meta-analysis included a total of 3232 patients for all the included studies. Results found that 41 patients with HPCS experienced increased 1-year patient survival (OR 16.33; P=0.02) and increased 1-year graft survival (OR 17.67; P=0.01). The TPCS analysis with 1633 patients found patients had significantly shorter intensive care unit length of stay (days) (P=0.006) and hospital length of stay (P=0.02) and had decreased primary nonfunction (PNF) (OR 0.30, P=0.02) and mortality rates (OR 0.52, P=0.01). CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative surgical portosystemic shunt in relation to liver transplantation with TPCS was able to prevent PNF, decrease hospital length of stay and unit care length of stay. Furthermore, in analyzing data for patients with HPCS, we observed increases in the 1-year graft and patient survival rates. More prospective randomized trials are needed to arrive at a more precise conclusion.

Project description:ObjectivePostoperative bile leakage (POBL) is one of the most common complications after liver resection. However, current studies on the risk factors for POBL and their impacts on surgical outcomes need to be more consistent. This study aims to conduct a meta-analysis to analyze the risk factors for POBL after hepatectomy.MethodsWe incorporated all eligible studies from Embase, PubMed, and the Web of Science database (until July 2022) into this study. RevMan and STATA software were used to analyze the extracted data.ResultsA total of 39 studies, including 43,824 patients, were included in this meta-analysis. We found that gender, partial hepatectomy, repeat of hepatectomy, extended hepatectomy, abdominal drain, diabetes, Child≥B, solitary tumor, and chemotherapy are the factors of grade B and C POBL. Some recognized risk factors were considered potential risk factors for grade B and C bile leakage because no subgroup analysis was performed, like HCC, cholangiocarcinoma, major resection, posterior sectionectomy, bi-segmentectomy, S4 involved, S8 involved, central hepatectomy, and bile duct resection/reconstruction. Meanwhile, cirrhosis, benign diseases, left hepatectomy, and Segment 1 resection were not significant for grade B and C bile leakage. The influence of lateral sectionectomy, anterior sectionectomy, S1 involved, S3 involved, high-risk procedure, laparoscope, and blood loss>1000 mL on POBL of ISGLS needs further research. Meanwhile, POBL significantly influenced overall survival (OS) after liver resection.ConclusionsWe identified several risk factors for POBL after hepatectomy, which could prompt the clinician to decrease POBL rates and make more beneficial decisions for patients who underwent the hepatectomy.

Project description:IntroductionNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has been increasingly reported among recipients of liver transplantation (LT). We aimed to identify clinical and genetic risk factors responsible for the development of early recurrent NAFLD in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis transplant recipients.MethodsForty-six total single nucleotide polymorphisms with known association with NAFLD were tested among both recipient and donor liver samples in 66 LT recipients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis to characterize influences on NAFLD recurrence at ∼1 year post-LT (median interval from LT to biopsy: 377 days).ResultsRecurrent NAFLD was identified in 43 (65.2%) patients, 20 (30.3%) with mild recurrence, and 23 (34.8%) with moderate to severe NAFLD. On adjusted analysis, change in the body mass index (BMI) (ΔBMI) was significantly associated with NAFLD recurrence, whereas post-LT diabetes mellitus was associated with increased severity of NAFLD recurrence. ADIPOR1 rs10920533 in the recipient was associated with increased risk of moderate to severe NAFLD recurrence, whereas the minor allele of SOD2 rs4880 in the recipient was associated with reduced risk. Similar reduced risk was noted in the presence of donor SOD2 rs4880 and HSD17B13 rs6834314 polymorphism.DiscussionIncreased BMI post-LT is strongly associated with NAFLD recurrence, whereas post-LT diabetes mellitus was associated with increased severity of NAFLD recurrence. Both donor and recipient SOD2 rs4880 and donor HSD17B13 rs6834314 single nucleotide polymorphisms may be associated with reduced risk of early NAFLD recurrence, whereas presence of the minor allele form of ADIPOR1 rs10920533 in the recipient is associated with increased severity NAFLD recurrence.

Project description:AimsTo systematically review the incidence and risk factors for recurrent FSGS after kidney transplantation.MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase, Medline, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, CBMdisc, Wanfang, and Weipu for case-control studies related to recurrent FSGS from the establishment until October 2022. The protocol was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022315448). Data were analyzed using Stata 12.0, with odds ratios (counting data) and standardized mean difference (continuous data) being considered as effect sizes. If the I2 value was greater than 50%, the random-effects model was used; otherwise, a fixed-effects model was used. A meta-analysis on the incidence and risk factors for recurrent FSGS after kidney transplantation was performed.ResultsA total of 22 studies with 966 patients and 12 factors were included in the meta-analysis. There were 358 patients with recurrent FSGS and 608 patients without FSGS after kidney transplantation. The results showed that the recurrence rate of FSGS after kidney transplantation was 38% (95% CI: 31%-44%). Age at transplantation (SMD = -0.47, 95% CI -0.73 to -0.20, p = .001), age at onset (SMD = -0.31, 95% CI -0.54 to -0.08, p = .008), time from diagnosis to kidney failure (SMD = -0.24, 95% CI -0.43 to -0.04, p = .018), proteinuria before KT (SMD = 2.04, 95% CI 0.91 - 3.17, p < .001), related donor (OR 1.99, 95% CI 1.20 - 3.30, p = .007) and nephrectomy of native kidneys (OR 6.53, 95% CI 2.68 - 15.92, p < .001) were associated with recurrent FSGS, whereas HLA mismatches, duration of dialysis before KT, sex, living donor, tacrolimus use and previous transplantation were not associated with recurrent FSGS after kidney transplantation.ConclusionsThe recurrence of FSGS after kidney transplantation remains high. Clinical decision-making should warrant further consideration of these factors, including age, original disease progression, proteinuria, related donor, and nephrectomy of native kidneys.
