“…[23][24][25] PRBC transfusion has been found to be an independent risk factor for 1-and 5-y mortality. [25][26][27] Azevedo et al 28 found that for each unit of PRBCs transfused, there was a 13% increase in the relative risk of 30-d mortality. Most recently, Danforth et al 29 identified preoperative risk factors associated perioperative complications that contribute to perioperative mortality.…”

Background. Weight gain and obesity are well-known clinical issues in liver transplantation (LTx). However, their impacts on patient outcomes remain unclear, as only the impact of pre-LTx body mass index (BMI) on survival has been meta-analyzed. We summarized and synthesized the evidence on pre- and post-LTx body weight parameters’ relations with post-LTx outcomes such as survival, metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities, and healthcare utilization. Methods. We followed the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions’ recommendations. Quality was assessed via a 19-item instrument. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated for outcomes investigated in ≥5 studies. Results. Our meta-analysis included 37 studies. Patients with pre-LTx BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 and BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 had lower overall survival rates than those with pre-LTx normal weight (72.6% and 69.8% versus 84.2%; P = 0.02 and P = 0.03, respectively). Those with pre-LTx BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2 had worse overall graft survival than normal weight patients (75.8% and 85.4%; P = 0.003). Pre-LTx BMI and pre-LTx overweight were associated with new-onset diabetes (P < 0.001 and P = 0.015, respectively), but post-LTx BMI showed no relationship. No associations were evident with healthcare utilization. Conclusions. Patients with BMI values ≥30 kg/m2 had worse patient and graft survival than those with normal weight. Few of the reviewed studies examined post-LTx body weight parameters or other relevant outcomes such as cardiovascular comorbidities. High heterogeneity as well as diverse definitions and operationalizations of measurement and outcomes severely impeded comparability.
