Primary Outcomes (1)
Postoperative complications
Complications related to fluid imbalance and portal hypertension, such as ascites, pleural effusion, and chyle leak; complications associated with impaired renal or hematologic function, including acute kidney injury, bleeding, and graft failure; and complications reflecting immune dysfunction and infection susceptibility, including pneumonia and empyema. Complications associated with impaired tissue healing, such as anastomotic leakage, were also analyzed. Liver failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome were considered separately.
