Abstract
Study objective
This study aimed to analyze the effects of two volatile anesthetic agents, desflurane and sevoflurane, on graft outcomes in patients undergoing deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) for cirrhosis, with a specific focus on fatty grafts.
Design
A retrospective observational study.
Setting
A tertiary hospital (Severance Hospital, Korea).
Patients
This study included 151 patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent DDLT for cirrhosis between January 2006 and December 2022.
Interventions
Patients were grouped according to maintenance anesthesia received (desflurane or sevoflurane), the model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score, and macrovesicular steatosis (MVS) of the liver graft.
Measurements
Survival curves were constructed from the date of surgery to graft failure or death. After propensity score matching (PSM), Cox regression analysis was used to compare hazards ratios (HR) for 5-year graft and overall survival. Subgroup analyses were performed for the MELD score and MVS of the liver graft. Incidences of 1-month acute rejection and early allograft dysfunction (EAD) were also compared between the two groups.
Main results
Among 151 eligible patients, 49 patients remained in each group after PSM, with 14 (28.6 %) graft failures and deaths occurring in each group. In matched analysis, sevoflurane showed poorer 5-year graft and overall survival compared to desflurane in recipients of graft with ≥10 % MVS, and this trend was significant in patients with MELD score of ≥35. In Cox regression model, compared to desflurane sevoflurane showed a propensity score-matched HR of 5.8 (95 % CI, 1.13–30.50 for both 5-year graft and overall survival. Additionally, sevoflurane showed an increased risk of 1-month acute rejection; however, no difference was observed for EAD.
Conclusions
Sevoflurane as a maintenance agent during DDLT in recipients with high MELD scores and fatty grafts may be associated with poorer outcomes compared to desflurane.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) addresses all aspects of anesthesia practice, including anesthetic administration, pharmacokinetics, preoperative and postoperative considerations, coexisting disease and other complicating factors, cost issues, and similar concerns anesthesiologists contend with daily. Exceptionally high standards of presentation and accuracy are maintained.
The core of the journal is original contributions on subjects relevant to clinical practice, and rigorously peer-reviewed. Highly respected international experts have joined together to form the Editorial Board, sharing their years of experience and clinical expertise. Specialized section editors cover the various subspecialties within the field. To keep your practical clinical skills current, the journal bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinical practice of anesthesiology and critical care to clarify how new insights can improve daily practice.
