The Impact of Preexisting and Post-transplant Diabetes Mellitus on Outcomes Following Liver Transplantation
Conclusions.
In this largest nonregistry study, patients with Pre-DM and PTDM share similar baseline clinical characteristics. Pre-DM increases the risk of ESRD and mCVE; however, patient survival was comparable to those with PTDM and without diabetes. Understanding the impact of PTDM would need prolonged follow-up.
