Pulmonary complications of liver transplantation: radiological appearance and statistical evaluation of risk factors in 300 cases 2000 .txt text/plain 7775 348 38 The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, radiographic appearance, time of onset, outcome and risk factors of non-infectious and infectious pulmonary complications following liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence, radiographic appearance, time of onset, outcome and risk factors of non-infectious and infectious pulmonary complications following liver transplantation. In univariate analysis (Table 1) , a statistically significant higher risk was demonstrated in cases of AHF patients, retransplantation, immunosuppression with OKT3, prolonged stay in ICU and AMV and in protracted pulmonary oedema; instead, surgical piggyback caval anastomosis is a factor reducing hazard. The present study, performed on a wider patient population, demonstrated, in univariate analysis, a significantly increased association of pulmonary infection with the following five risk factors: caval traditional anastomosis, retransplantation, OKT3 immunosuppression, ICU stay and AMV duration, pulmonary non-inflammatory abnormalities, such as effusion and atelectasis, and oedema. ./cache/cord-006586-49btg9w7.txt ./txt/cord-006586-49btg9w7.txt
