ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial aims to create a tool called a nomogram to help predict the risk of biliary complications in adults who have received a liver transplant. Biliary complications are issues related to the bile ducts, which can occur within 90 days after surgery. The researchers will look at various factors, such as the patients' health before surgery and their experiences during and after the transplant, to determine what might contribute to these complications. By analyzing this data, they hope to improve how doctors can foresee and manage these risks for their patients.

To participate in this study, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have undergone their first liver transplant at Sun Yat-sen University First Affiliated Hospital between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2021. Some people are not eligible, including those who received a liver from a living donor or had multiple organ transplants. Participants will not be recruited just yet, as the study is still in the planning phase. If you or a loved one qualifies and chooses to take part, you will be contributing to important research that could help improve care for future liver transplant patients.
