Neurological Complications Prevalence and Long-Term Survival After Liver Transplantation
Conclusions: Neurological complications led to longer hospital stays with greater early morbidity and mortality. Knowledge of these complications appears to be extremely important for the multidisciplinary transplantation team to decrease its prevalence as well as to diagnose and treat early.

Frequency of Cardiovascular Events and Effect on Survival in Liver Transplant Recipients for Cirrhosis Due to Alcoholic or Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis.
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiovascular events occurred with similar frequency in transplant recipients for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis or alcoholic cirrhosis. Patient survival was affected in both groups, but male patients with concomitant hepatitis C virus infection remained at higher risk for a cardiovascular event after liver transplant. Development of a cardiac evaluation protocol for liver transplant recipients could help monitor these patients. PMID: 26581602 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
