dc.description.abstractBackground. COVID-19 has led to an unprecedented global health crisis. This situation caused an immediate reduction in solid organ transplantation activity. This study aimed to present the follow-up results of patients with chronic liver disease who underwent liver transplantation (LT) after a history of COVID-19 infection. Methods. Sociodemographic characteristics and clinicopathological data of 474 patients who underwent LT at Inonu University Liver Transplant Institute between March 11, 2020 and March 17, 2022 were prospectively recorded and analyzed retrospectively. Among these, the data of 35 patients with chronic liver disease who were found to be exposed to COVID-19 infection in the pre-LT period were analyzed for this study. Results. The median body mass index, Child score, and Model for end-stage liver disease/ Pediatric end-stage liver disease scores of the 35 patients were calculated as 25.1 kg/m2 (IQR: 7.4), 9 points (IQR: 4), and 16 points (IQR: 10), respectively. Graft rejection occurred in 4 patients at a median of 25 days post-transplant. Five patients underwent retransplantation at a median of 25 days post-transplant. The most common cause of retransplantation is early hepatic artery thrombosis. There were 5 deaths during postoperative follow-up. Mortality developed in 5 (14.3%) patients exposed to COVID-19 infection in the pretransplant period, whereas mortality occurred in 56 (12.8%) patients not exposed to COVID-19 infection. There was no statistically significant difference in mortality between the groups (P = .79). Conclusions. The results of this study showed that exposure to COVID-19 before LT does not affect post-transplant patients and graft survival.en_US
