We analyzed the influence of two variables (place of hospitalization of the patients and the mental health of relatives) on symptoms of anxiety and depression in liver transplant patients. The subject groups were made up of 48 liver transplant recipients (mean age 51.15; SD = 8.57) and their close relatives. The tests applied were a psychosocial questionnaire, and the two tests: "The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale" and "The Leeds Scales for the Self-Assessment of Anxiety and Depression." The liver transplant recipients showed more symptoms of depression when they were in the intensive care unit (ICU) and more symptoms of anxiety in the post-ICU phase when their close relatives were more depressed in that phase. The place of hospitalization of the patients and the mental health of relatives influenced the symptoms of anxiety and depression in liver transplant recipients.

Background: Liver graft function is related to the quality of liver transplantation (LT). High-quality perioperative glycemic management is considered hepatoprotective. However, no studies have explored the effects of specialized and staged blood glucose management target ranges on reducing glycemic variability (GV) and early allograft dysfunction (EAD) after LT.

The study of survival data often requires taking proper care of the censoring mechanism that prohibits complete observation of the data. Under right censoring, only the first occurring event is observed: either the event of interest, or a competing event like withdrawal of a subject from the study. The corresponding identifiability difficulties led many authors to imposing (conditional) independence or a fully known dependence between survival and censoring times, both of which are not always realistic.
