Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
To analyze the perioperative differences in a consecutive cohort of liver transplant recipients (LTRs) classified according to the indication of transplantation, and assess their impact upon early mortality 90 days after transplantation. A retrospective cohort study was carried out. A single university hospital. A total of 892 consecutive adult LTRs were included from January 1995 to December 2017. Recipients with acute liver failure, retransplantation or with grafts from non-brain death donors were excluded. Two cohorts were analyzed according to transplant indication: hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC-LTR) versus non-carcinoma (non-HCC-LTR). Recipient early mortality was the primary endpoint. The pretransplant recipient and donor characteristics, surgical time data and postoperative complications were analyzed as independent predictors. The crude early postoperative mortality rate related to transplant indication was 13.3% in non-HCC-LTR and 6.6% in HCC-LTR (non-adjusted HR = 2.12, 95%CI = 1.25–3.60; p = 0.005). Comparison of the perioperative features between the cohorts revealed multiple differences. Multivariate analysis showed postoperative shock (HR = 2.02, 95%CI = 1.26–3.24; p = 0.003), early graft vascular complications (HR = 4.01, 95%CI = 2.45–6.56; p < 0.001) and multiorgan dysfunction syndrome (HR = 18.09, 95%CI = 10.70–30.58; p < 0.001) to be independent predictors of mortality. There were no differences in early mortality related to transplant indication (adjusted HR = 1.60, 95%CI = 0.93–2.76; p = 0.086). The crude early postoperative mortality rate in non-HCC-LTR was higher than in HCC-LTR, due to a greater incidence of postoperative complications with an impact upon mortality (shock at admission to intensive care and the development of multiorgan dysfunction syndrome). Analizar las diferencias perioperatorias de una cohorte de trasplantados hepáticos (LTR) clasificados por la indicación de trasplante, y evaluar su impacto sobre la mortalidad precoz (90 días postrasplante). Estudio de cohorte retrospectivo. Institución universitaria. Desde 1995 hasta 2017 fueron incluidos 892 LTR. Se excluyeron los receptores con fallo hepático agudo, retrasplante o de donantes sin muerte cerebral. Se analizaron 2 cohortes según el motivo del trasplante: carcinoma hepatocelular (HCC-LTR) vs. causas diferente al carcinoma (non-HCC-LTR). La variable principal fue la mortalidad precoz. Las características pretrasplante de receptores, donantes, tiempo quirúrgico y complicaciones postoperatorias se estudiaron como predictores independientes. La mortalidad postoperatoria temprana bruta relacionada con la indicación de trasplante fue del 13,3% en non-HCC-LTR y del 6,6% en HCC-LTR (HR no ajustada: 2,12; IC 95%: 1,25-3,60; p = 0,005). La comparación de características perioperatorias entre las cohortes mostró múltiples diferencias. El shock postoperatorio (HR: 2,02; IC 95%: 1,26-3,24), complicaciones vasculares tempranas del injerto (HR: 4,01; IC 95%: 2,45-6,56) y síndrome de disfunción multiorgánica (HR: 18,09; IC 95%: 10,70-30,58) fueron predictores independientes de mortalidad. La indicación de trasplante no mostró significación en el análisis multivariante (HR ajustada: 1,60; IC 95%: 0,93-2,76; p = 0,086). La mortalidad postoperatoria temprana bruta en non-HCC-LTR fue mayor que en HCC-LTR debido a la mayor incidencia de complicaciones postoperatorias con impacto en la mortalidad ( shock al ingreso en la UCI y aparición del síndrome de disfunción multiorgánica).
