Material And Methods: Retrospective medical record reviews of all patients with ALF due to WD in eight years in Uruguay.
Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications are major cause of morbidity and mortality in patients receiving liver transplantation (LT), particularly bacterial pneumonia occurring within the first 100 days after transplantation. Our aim in this study was to determine the incidence, microorganisms involved, associated factors, and morbidity of bacterial pneumonia presenting in the first 100 days posttransplant.
Methods: We performed a cohort study in which patients receiving liver transplantation were included prospectively in our national database (Database of Infections in Transplantation of Solid Organs).
Introduction: Identification of predictive factors of mortality in a liver transplant (LT) program optimizes patient selection and allocation of organs.
Objective: To determine survival rates and predictive factors of mortality after LT in the National Liver Transplant Program of Uruguay.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted analyzing data prospectively collected into a multidisciplinary database.
