- Abstract
- (en) A simple clinical instrument is needed to assist clinicians in the risk stratification of patients referred for liver transplantation during the very first phases of evaluation1. The authors developed the Liver Transplant Risk Score (LTRS) with the assistance of machine-learning techniques to predict the short- and long-term outcomes of patients undergoing liver transplantation. The LTRS includes recipient age, BMI, native Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score calculated at the time of listing, need for dialysis, and history of diabetes. The LTRS has been validated in patients undergoing transplantation in the USA2, but has never been tested in patients transplanted in other countries. The primary aim of this study was to assess the performance of the LTRS in adult patients who underwent a first-time liver transplantation in Europe.
