Additive impact of pre-liver transplant metabolic factors on survival post-liver transplant.

Background And Aim: Diabetes at time of liver transplantation is associated with reduced post-transplant survival. We aimed to assess whether additional metabolic conditions such as obesity or hypertension had additive prognostic impact on post-transplantation survival.

Methods: A multi-center cohort study of 617 adult subjects undergoing liver transplantation between 2003 and 2009 has been used.
