Primary liver transplantation vs transplant after Kasai portoenterostomy in children with biliary atresia: A retrospective Brazilian single-center cohort

Table 3 Pre and intra-operative variables in biliary atresia recipients who underwent liver transplantation who developed portal vein thrombosis comparing with those who did not develop portal vein thrombosis

Parameter	No-PVT, n = 31	PVT, n = 11	P value
Age at LT, months, median (IQR)	10 (6-15)	8 (5-8)	0.06
Weight at LT, kg, median (IQR)	7 (6.2-10)	6.4 (5.7-7.3)	0.2
PE	17 (54.8)	2 (18.2)	0.07
PELD/MELD, mean ± SD	16.1 ± 10.3	22 ± 8	0.12
Living donor	26 (83.9)	9 (81.8)	1
Deceased donor	5 (16.1)	2 (18.2)	1
Portal vein graft	5 (16.1)	5 (45.5)	0.09
GRWR, mean ± SD	3.75 ± 1.56	4.38 ± 1.2	0.08
RCBT in mL/kg, mean + SD	1.8 ± 1.3	2.5 ± 0.9	0.14
CIT in min, median (IQR)	95 (66-163.5)	88 (68-127)	0.8
WIT in min, mean ± SD	36.1 ± 9.9	39 ± 14.1	0.7

Data are n (%). BA: Biliary atresia; CIT: Cold ischemia time; GRWR: Graft-to-recipient-weight-ratio; LT: Liver transplant; PE: Portoenterostomy; PVT: Portal vein thrombosis; RCBT: Red cell blood transfusion; SD: Standard deviation; WIT: Warm ischemia time.
