Abstract
Aim
The safety of liver transplantation and simultaneous splenectomy (LTSP) is still controversial. This study aimed to compare postoperative outcomes and infection in liver transplant recipients with and without simultaneous splenectomy.
Methods
Clinical data of patients who underwent liver transplantation (LT) from May 2015 to March 2023 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University were retrospectively analyzed. The main parameters measured were culture results, infection incidence, pathogens, postoperative complications, and overall survival rates.
Results
Of 149 patients, 35 who underwent LTSP were assigned to the LTSP group, and the remaining 114 were assigned to the LT group. The postoperative infection incidence in the LTSP group was significantly higher than in the LT group within 1 month after transplantation. The two groups had no significant differences in pathogens details and overall survival rate. SP, postoperative days (POD) 3 Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), POD 7 NLR, and POD 7 Hemoglobin (HGB) were independent risk factors for postoperative infection in multivariate analysis.
Conclusion
LTSP increases the risk of short-term postoperative infections, and postoperative NLR can be used as a marker of infection.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
