Abstract

Background: Specific associations between liver cirrhosis and liver transplant with poorer outcomes in COVID-19 are still not completely clear.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with severe COVID-19 and cirrhosis or liver transplant in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted in a quaternary hospital. Patients with COVID-19 and liver cirrhosis or liver transplant were selected. The clinical and demographic characteristics, as well as the outcomes, were assessed using electronic records.

Results: A total of 46 patients with COVID-19 and liver condition were included in the study. Patients with liver cirrhosis had significantly more endotracheal intubation and a higher relative risk of death than liver transplant recipients. Patients with higher MELD-Na scores had increased death rates and lower survival probability and survival time.

Conclusion: Patients with liver cirrhosis, especially those with higher MELD-Na scores, had poorer outcomes in COVID-19. Liver transplant recipients do not seem to be linked to poorer COVID-19 outcomes.

巴西一家四级中心的重度Covid-19和肝硬化或肝移植患者的临床特征和治疗效果。

背景：在 COVID-19 中，肝硬化和肝移植与较差预后之间的具体关联仍不完全清楚：肝硬化和肝移植与 COVID-19 较差预后之间的具体关联仍不完全清楚：我们旨在评估巴西圣保罗严重 COVID-19 合并肝硬化或肝移植患者的临床特征和预后：在一家四级医院开展了一项回顾性观察研究。研究选择了 COVID-19 和肝硬化或肝移植患者。结果：共有46名COVID-19患者患有肝硬化或肝移植：研究共纳入了 46 名患有 COVID-19 和肝病的患者。与肝移植受者相比，肝硬化患者的气管插管次数明显增多，死亡的相对风险也更高。MELD-Na评分越高的患者死亡率越高，存活概率和存活时间越低：结论：肝硬化患者，尤其是 MELD-Na 评分较高的患者，在 COVID-19 中的预后较差。肝移植受者似乎与较差的 COVID-19 结果无关。
