ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Systemic inflammatory responses soon after liver transplantation in children can lead to complications and poor outcomes, so here we examined potential risk factors of such responses.METHODS:
Data were retrospectively analyzed for 69 children who underwent liver transplantation at a single center between July 2017 and November 2019 through follow-up lasting up to one years. Numerous clinicodemographic factors were compared between those who suffered early systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or not.RESULTS:
Of the 69 patients in our analysis, early SIRS occurred in 35 [50.7%, 95% confidence interval (CI), 38.6-62.8%]. Those patients showed significantly higher graft-to-recipient weight ratio (3.69 ± 1.26 vs. 3.12 ± 0.99%, P = 0.042) and lower survival rate at one year (85.7% vs. 100%, P = 0.023). Multivariate analysis found graft-to-recipient weight ratio > 4% to be an independent risk factor for early SIRS [odds ratio (OR) 3.8, 95% CI 1.08-13.371, P = 0.037], and a cut-off value of 4.04% predicted the syndrome in our patients, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.656 (95% CI 0.525-0.788, P = 0.026).CONCLUSIONS:
Graft-to-recipient weight ratio > 4% may predict higher risk of SIRS soon after liver transplantation in children.
