Risk factors and prediction score for new-onset diabetes mellitus after liver transplantation.

Aim: New-onset diabetes mellitus is a frequent and severe complication arising after liver transplantation (LT). We aimed to identify the risk factors for new-onset diabetes mellitus after liver transplantation (NODALT) and to develop a risk prediction score system for relevant risks.
