| Core Tip |
Recent evidence shows that low platelet count (PC) can predict outcomes after liver transplantation (LT). We evaluated if a low PC in the immediate postoperative period of LT, defined as a PC < 70 × 109/L on the fifth postoperative day (5POD), is a predictor of death or retransplantation. We retrospectively assessed 480 consecutive LT patients. This study showed that a PC < 70 × 109/L on the 5POD was independently associated with shorter patient and graft survival within one year after LT. These results are in agreement with other studies indicating that thrombocytopenia in the immediate postoperative period of LT is associated with negative outcomes. |
