Abstract
BACKGROUND The treatment of choice for patients with cirrhosis and HPS is LT. The clinical manifestations associated with hypoxemia result in limitations and a poor health-related quality of life of affected patients. The present report aims to study the differences in outcomes between patients with PaO2 < 50 mm Hg and those with PaO2 ≥ 50 mm Hg. METHODS This was a retrospective study of 21 patients under 18 years of age conducted from 2001 to 2018; the patients were divided into 2 groups: G1-PaO2 ≥ 50 mm Hg, 11 patients, and G2-PaO2 < 50 mm Hg, 10 patients. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and perioperative data; outcome variables; and post-transplant survival were compared between the groups. RESULTS In total, 2/11 (18.2%) patients in G1 and 8/10 (80%) patients in G2 required supplemental oxygen therapy at home (P = .005). Patients in G2 required prolonged MV (median 8.5 days in G2 vs 1 day in G1, P = .015) and prolonged ICU and hospital stays (P = .002 and P = .001, respectively). Oxygen weaning time was longer in G2 (median 127.5 days) than in G1 (median 3 days; P = .004). One (9.1%) patient in G1 and three (30%) patients in G2 died (P = .22). The survival at 90 months was 90.9% in G1 and 70% in G2 (P = .22). CONCLUSION The survival between groups was similar. Patients with very severe HPS required a longer MV time, longer ICU and hospital stays, and a longer O2 weaning time than those with mild, moderate, or severe HPS.
