Alcohol Relapse After Liver Transplantation: Risk Factors, Outcomes, and a Comparison of Risk Stratification Models
In our cohort, heavy alcohol use before transplantation and legal issues did not predict relapse, which are common components of prediction scores. Less than 5% of patients had graft dysfunction due to relapse, suggesting good graft outcomes. While the HALT and SALT scores were validated in our cohort, our finding of additional significant predictors of relapse, in addition to previously reported risk factors providing protective effect, suggests opportunity for further optimization of prediction scores.
