Major advances in managing critically ill patients with liver disease have improved their prognosis and access to intensive care facilities. Acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is now a well-defined disease and these patients can be fast-tracked fo...

BACKGROUND: The long-term survival of liver transplant (LT) recipients is essential for optimizing organ allocation and estimating mortality outcomes. While models like the Model-for-End-Stage-Liver-Disease (MELD) predict 90-day mortality on the wait...
BACKGROUND: Children with autoimmune liver disease (AILD) may develop fibrosis-related complications necessitating a liver transplant. We hypothesize that tissue-based analysis of liver fibrosis by second harmonic generation (SHG) microscopy with art...
With the rising demand for liver transplantation (LT), research on acute rejection (AR) has become increasingly diverse, yet no consensus has been reached. This study presents a bibliometric and latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling analys...
BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) are at risk of perioperative neurocognitive dysfunction (PND), which significantly affects the patients' prognosis.

BACKGROUND: The principles of urgency, utility, and benefit are fundamental concepts guiding the ethical and practical decision-making process for organ allocation; however, LT allocation still follows an urgency model.
BACKGROUND: Predicting long-term outcomes in liver transplantation remain a challenging endeavor. This research aims to harness the power of deep learning to develop an advanced prognostic model for assessing long-term outcomes, with a specific focus...
Post-Liver transplantation (LT) survival rates stagnate, with biliary complications (BC) as a major cause of death. We analyzed longitudinal data with a median 19-month follow-up. BC was diagnosed with ultrasounds and MRCP. Missing data was imputed u...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) is a major contributor to mortality. We developed a recurrence prediction system for HCC patients before and after LT. Data from patients with HCC who underwent LT were retros...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Liver transplant (LT) recipients may succumb to graft-related pathologies, contributing to graft fibrosis (GF). Current methods to diagnose GF are limited, ranging from procedural-related complications to low accuracy. With recent...
