Post-Operative Hemorrhage After Liver Transplantation: Risk Factors and Long-Term Outcome.

Background: Increasing scarcity of donated liver grafts clearly demonstrates the desperate need for ongoing outcome analysis to improve patient and graft survival after liver transplantation. Coagulation is often severely deteriorated in patients suffering from liver disease, thus leading to bleeding complications after liver transplantation.

Material And Methods: We included 770 liver transplantations in this single-center retrospective analysis to identify independent risk factors for post-operative hemorrhage.
