Abstract Background Early tracheal extubation of recipients following liver transplantation (LT) has been promoted and gradually replacing standard postoperative prolonged mechanical ventilation, possibly contributing to better graft and patient survival and reduced costs. There are no universally accepted predictors of success of immediate extubation in LT recipients. We hypothesized a number of factors as predictors of successful immediate tracheal extubation in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) recipients. Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity of the following hypothesized factors: Model for end stage liver disease (MELD) score, duration of surgery, number of intraoperatively transfused packed red blood cells (RBCs) units and end of surgery (EOS) serum lactate, as predictors of success of immediate tracheal extubation in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) recipients. Methods In this prospective clinical trial, perioperative data of adult LDLT recipients were recorded. “Immediate extubation” was defined as tracheal extubation immediately and up to 1 hour postransplant in the operating room. Patients were divided into; extubated group who were successfully extubated with no need for reintubation, and non-extubated group who failed to meet criteria of extubation or were re-intubated within 4 hours of extubation. Results Of 64 patients, 50 (76.9%) were extubated early after LDLT while 14 (23.07%) were transported to the intensive care unit (ICU) intubated. After data analysis, it was found that EOS serum lactate, duration of surgery and number of packed RBCs units transfused intraoperatively, were good predictors of success of immediate extubation, while MELD scores had no statistically significant impact on the results. In addition, other factors such as EOS urine output and pH were shown to have significantly affected the results. Conclusions EOS serum lactate, duration of surgery and number of packed RBCs units transfused were predictors of post-transplant early extubation.

Although Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score is adopted worldwide for liver transplant allocation, but it has prognostic limitations. The aim of this study was to apply the survival tree analysis to evaluate interaction between variables related to mortality in cirrhotics patients enlisted for liver transplantation, and to develop a new mortality predictive score. Demographic, clinical and laboratory data of cirrhotic patients waiting for liver transplantation during a 12-year period were considered. Charts from 765 patients were reviewed. The interaction between prognostic covariates was obtained using a survival tree analysis. In order to develop the predictive score, Cox regression analysis was performed applying significant data obtained by the survival tree analysis. The prognostic covariates evaluated in the survival tree were MELD score, Child-Pugh score, serum sodium, viral disease etiology, hepatocellular carcinoma diagnosis and generated a coefficient for each. Based on the survival tree analysis, MELD = 15 was the primary root variable (p<0.001). The survival tree provided eight prognostic groups. The higher mortality hazard ratio (HR) risk was observed in the MELD >28 group (HR= 16.7).  The new score (Survival Tree Score – STS) was obtained according to the coefficients provided. The STS prognostic performance was superior to MELD score (AUROC 0.713 vs 0.653, p<0.001). STS, could be a useful tool to accurately identify individual mortality risk in advanced liver disease.

Introduction and aim. Studies carried out mainly in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), have shown the prognostic significance of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) grade. Recently, another predictive score incorporating platelet count into ALBI, PALBI grade, was introduced in patients with HCC. Aim of the study. We evaluated the ability of ALBI and PALBI grades in predicting the outcome (mortality/ liver transplantation) of patients with stable decompensated cirrhosis with various etiology of liver diseases. Materials and methods. We prospectively studied 325 patients with stable decompensated cirrhosis awaiting liver transplantation. Their clinical and laboratory characteristics were recorded including albumin, bilirubin levels, platelets. We estimated ALBI and PALBI grades for every patient. Conventional prognostic scores were also evaluated; Child-Pugh (CTP), Model for End stage Liver Disease (MELD). We followed them up and recorded their outcome. Results. Beyond MELD and CTP, ALBI and PALBI grades proved significant factors associated with the outcome (HR: 2.13, 95%CI [1.59, 2.85], p<0.001 and HR: 2.06, 95%CI [1.47, 2.9], p<0.001, respectively), and their predictive capability was established (ROC analysis; AUC: 0.695, 95% CI [0.634, 0.755] and AUC: 0.683, 95% CI [0.621, 0.744], respectively). ALBI and PALBI performed better than CTP score (p=0.0044 and p=0.014, respectively). Categorization of our patients into three ALBI groups detected statistically different survival times. Accordingly, PALBI grade 3 compared to those with PALBI grade 1 and 2 patients, had worse outcome and significantly higher frequency of cirrhosis-related complications. Conclusions. ALBI and PALBI grades were validated and can be used to predict the outcome in patients with stable decompensated cirrhosis.
