Low platelet count: Predictor of death and graft loss after liver transplantation

Figure 1 Independent risk factors of death within one year after liver transplantation, in multivariate analysis. 5POD: Fifth postoperative day; 95%CI: 95% confidence interval; HR: hazard ratio; IntraOp: Intraoperative; PLT: Platelets; MELD: Model for end-stage liver disease; LT: Liver transplantation.

Figure 2 Cumulative survival of liver graft of patients with platelets < 70 × 10⁹/L on fifth postoperative day, adjusted for different variables, during first year of follow-up after liver transplantation. 5POD: Fifth postoperative day; CI: confidence interval; HR: hazard ratio; HRS: Hepatorenal syndrome; IntraOp: Intraoperative; PLT: platelets; MELD: Model for end-stage liver disease; LT: Liver transplantation.

Figure 3 General survival within first year after liver transplantation (LT) of patients with platelet count < 70 × 10⁹/L on fifth postoperative day vs patients with platelet count ≥ 70 × 10⁹/L on 5POD. Together, the description of the number of patients at risk of death at, 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 mo after liver transplantation, respectively. 5POD: Fifth postoperative day; CI: confidence interval; HR: hazard ratio; LT: liver transplantation.
