Preoperative platelet count predicts posttransplant portal vein complications in orthotopic liver transplantation: a propensity score analysis

Abstract

Preoperative platelet count > 49.5 × 10⁹/L was an independent risk factor for posttransplant portal vein complication and early allograft dysfunction. High preoperative platelet count could be an adverse prognostic predictor for liver transplantation recipients.
