| Core Tip |
Patients undergoing living donor liver transplantation may suffer complications that require intensive care unit readmission. We retrospectively evaluated 299 patients who underwent living donor liver transplantation. We identified the incidence, causes, and outcomes of intensive care unit readmission after living donor liver transplantation. Older recipient age and longer length of initial hospital stay were recognized as significant independent risk factors for intensive care unit readmission. The identification of high-risk patients before discharge may help provide optimal care and tailor follow-up to reduce the rate of intensive care unit readmission. |
