Intraoperative blood loss as a predictor of outcomes in liver transplantation: determining optimal cutoff values for improved graft survival
This study establishes aEBL as an independent risk factor for GS in LT recipients and identifies 25.0 mL/kg as a significant cutoff impacting both short-term and long-term outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of tailoring blood loss management to individual patient characteristics, particularly body weight, and suggest a practical approach to enhance outcomes for LT recipients.
