What is Impact of Comorbidity On Waiting List and Post-Transplant Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Liver Retransplantation about?

This retrospective cohort study investigates the impact of comorbidity on waiting list and post-transplant outcomes in liver retransplantation patients. The study finds that comorbidity, particularly renal impairment, significantly increases waiting list mortality and post-transplant mortality, with patients having a MELD score ≥ 18 also facing higher risks. The authors suggest that patients with comorbidities or higher MELD scores may benefit from earlier retransplantation to improve survival outcomes.
