Epidemiology of liver transplantation and post-LT complications in Germany: nationwide study (2005-2018)
To date, liver transplantation (LT) is the only curative treatment for cirrhosis and early-diagnosed progressive acute liver failure (ALF). However, LT results in morbidities and mortality even post-LT. Different comorbidities may follow and further increase mortality and morbidity. In this study, we investigated the outcomes and their trends over a period of 14 years among hospitalized patients evaluated for LT, transplant and post-LT in Germany.
