About this study
The Institutional Registry of Liver Transplantation is a system for data collection related to patients with liver disease who are possible candidates for liver transplantion. This tool was designed by a multidisciplinary team that includes hepatologists, surgeons, informatics and biostatisticians. It intends to collect the information from the clinical evaluation, physical examination, complementary diagnostic methods and laboratory data. The information is captured sistematically, following structured, standardized and monitored processess to ensure the quality of the data obtained.
The aim is to use the available technology to generate a complete database that can be used to answer research questions.
- Conditions
- Liver Transplantation, Clinical Registry
- Being tested
- orthotopic liver transplantation
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
orthotopic liver transplantationProcedure or surgery
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Time to mortality
All patients are followed from the date of the inclusion to the registry, by periodic controls by the hepatologists and through telephones calls by the coordinator nurse, both before and after the transplantation.
Every patient who dies during the 5 years of follow up will count as an event. Patients who are lost to follow up will be censored, in this case we will use the date of the last control or telephone call where he or she was alive.
Measured: 5 years
Secondary outcomes (1)
Time to retransplantation
We will considerate retransplantation as a competitive risk for death, calculating the time since the date of the transplant until the date of retransplantantion or not during the 5 years of follow up.
Measured: 5 years
