It remains unknown whether clinical benefits offset additional costs in the real-world setting. We performed a comparison of outcomes and hospitalization costs for donor livers preserved by NMP versus static cold storage at a high-volume center. Adult patients receiving deceased donor liver transplants preserved by either NMP (TransMedics Organ Care System) or static cold storage between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2023, were included. Donor and recipient characteristics, operative parameters, post-transplant outcomes, and hospitalization costs were compared. A total of 144 NMP and 149 static cold storage cases were included. A higher proportion of NMP cases were donation after circulatory death (38.2% vs. 4.7%, p <0.001). Despite a significantly higher Liver Donor Risk Index (2.1 vs. 1.7, p <0.001) and longer preservation time (877 vs. 355 min, p <0.001), recipients of NMP experienced lower rates of reperfusion syndrome (4.3% vs. 32.9%, p <0.001), less blood loss (1.5 vs. 3.0 L, p <0.001), and required less blood product transfusion. This resulted in shorter operative time for NMP cases (357 vs. 438 min, p <0.001) and significant reductions in both intensive care unit (3 vs. 5 d, p =0.005) and hospital length of stay (11 vs. 13 d, p =0.03). NMP facilitated the transition of cases to daytime hours (88.9% vs. 46.3%, p <0.001). Despite the clinical and logistical benefits observed, index hospitalization costs were significantly higher in the NMP cohort ($256,810 vs. $209,144, p <0.001), driven largely by higher organ acquisition costs ($135,930 vs. $50,940, p <0.001). In conclusion, utilization of NMP comes with an attendant increase in cost but provides substantial clinical benefit. Transplant programs must weigh these considerations in their practice environments before initiating an NMP program.</p>","PeriodicalId":18072,"journal":{"name":"Liver Transplantation","volume":" ","pages":"750-761"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142895858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Urinary ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is an objective measure of alcohol use. This single-center retrospective study aims to describe the psychosocial characteristics of patients with alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) who provided positive EtG tests in the pretransplant phase. Data were collected between May 1, 2018, and November 30, 2021, for all patients with ALD referred to our transplantation program (n = 497). Psychosocial characteristics and transplant outcomes were recorded for all patients. Patients with a positive EtG test were compared to patients who did not have a positive EtG test. A backward logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the factors associated with a positive EtG test. Of the 497 patients evaluated, 40 (8%) provided a positive EtG test, including at the initial clinic visit (n = 20), during medical evaluation (n = 14), and while on the waitlist (n = 6). Severe alcohol use disorder ( p < 0.01), consuming <10 daily standard drinks ( p = 0.011), and longer duration of daily alcohol use ( p = 0.028) were significantly associated with a positive EtG test. Psychiatric comorbidity and previous treatment for alcohol use disorder were not significantly associated with positive tests. A minority of patients with ALD provided a positive urine EtG in the pretransplant phase. Alongside clinical interviews, biomarker testing is an objective tool to identify ongoing alcohol use in patients with ALD.</p>","PeriodicalId":18072,"journal":{"name":"Liver Transplantation","volume":" ","pages":"762-769"},"PeriodicalIF":4.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142668523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
