P-86 SHORT TERM RESULTS OF TRANSPLANTED ACLF PATIENTS IN A YOUNG TRANSPLANT PROGRAM IN CHILE

No Pts with ACLF should be assessed for liver transplant (LT) due to the high mortality without LT (28-day mortality: grade 1 = 14.6%, 2 = 32%, 3 = 78.6%). There is a survival benefit for ACLF grades 2-3 with LT (85-89% at 3-months and 70-80% at 3-years). Grade 2, and specially grade 3 ACLF pts remain a challenge for LT teams. New scoring systems (eg. SALT-M) have been developed to assist decision-making. There is limited data on this topic in Chile and Latin America. Aim: To characterize ACLF pts who underwent LT in our center between January 2020 and March 2024. Observational retrospective study. Clinical and laboratory data were collected. The cohort was divided into 3 groups based on ACLF grade. We calculated ACLF scores and assessed outcomes at 28-days and 3-months after LT. A total of 100 LT were performed between January 2020 and March 2024. 31 pts (31%) had ACLF before LT. Table 1 shows general data of ACLF LT pts. Alcohol and autoimmune were the most frequent etiologies. Infection was the most frequent extrahepatic comorbidity before and after LT (80.7% and 93.6% respectively). Length of stay (LOS) was influenced by the grade of ACLF, with grade 3 patients having the longest ICU stay (20.92 days). 28-day and 3-month survival rates were 90.3% and 87.1%, respectively. Only grade 3 ACLF LT pts showed a difference between 28-day and 3-month survival. Multi organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) was the main reported cause of death (75%). Short term outcomes were consistent with national and international data. Infections were the main complication before and after LT. SALT-M score correlates with ACLF severity but would not have changed the decision to perform LT. A prolonged LOS is expected in ACLF LT pts.

Abstract

No Pts with ACLF should be assessed for liver transplant (LT) due to the high mortality without LT (28-day mortality: grade 1 = 14.6%, 2 = 32%, 3 = 78.6%). There is a survival benefit for ACLF grades 2-3 with LT (85-89% at 3-months and 70-80% at 3-years). Grade 2, and specially grade 3 ACLF pts remain a challenge for LT teams. New scoring systems (eg. SALT-M) have been developed to assist decision-making. There is limited data on this topic in Chile and Latin America. Aim: To characterize ACLF pts who underwent LT in our center between January 2020 and March 2024. Observational retrospective study. Clinical and laboratory data were collected. The cohort was divided into 3 groups based on ACLF grade. We calculated ACLF scores and assessed outcomes at 28-days and 3-months after LT. A total of 100 LT were performed between January 2020 and March 2024. 31 pts (31%) had ACLF before LT. Table 1 shows general data of ACLF LT pts. Alcohol and autoimmune were the most frequent etiologies. Infection was the most frequent extrahepatic comorbidity before and after LT (80.7% and 93.6% respectively). Length of stay (LOS) was influenced by the grade of ACLF, with grade 3 patients having the longest ICU stay (20.92 days). 28-day and 3-month survival rates were 90.3% and 87.1%, respectively. Only grade 3 ACLF LT pts showed a difference between 28-day and 3-month survival. Multi organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) was the main reported cause of death (75%). Short term outcomes were consistent with national and international data. Infections were the main complication before and after LT. SALT-M score correlates with ACLF severity but would not have changed the decision to perform LT. A prolonged LOS is expected in ACLF LT pts.
