Article Synopsis
- The study investigates outcomes of liver transplantation (LT) in patients with cirrhosis and hypoxia, focusing on those with different levels of arterial oxygen pressure (PaO).
- Patients were split into two groups based on their PaO levels, with significant differences noted in their need for supplemental oxygen, mechanical ventilation (MV) duration, and hospital stays.
- Despite differences in recovery needs, survival rates at 90 months were comparable between the groups, indicating that severe hypoxia does not drastically impact long-term survival post-transplant.
