Hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease after liver transplantation in the United States
Conclusions: CVD after liver transplant is evolving and responsible for growing rates of inpatient care. Transplant hospitals are associated with poor outcomes, even after risk adjustment for patient and hospital characteristics, which may be attributable to selective referral of certain patient phenotypes, but could also be related to differences in quality of care. Further study is warranted. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
