Abstrakt: Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease (PTLD) is a rare but serious complication of liver transplantation (LT) with morbidity and mortality. The risk factors for PTLD in adults are ill-defined. This study aimed to assess the risk factors for PTLD after LT in adults. All adult LT recipients between 1986 and 2016 from 2 centers in the Netherlands were included, with follow-up until 2020. PTLD was diagnosed according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification. Potential risk factors for PTLD were assessed using multivariate Cox regression analysis. A total of 1281 patients were included, of whom 29 (2.3%) developed PTLD. Results show that independent risk factors for PTLD after LT in adults were no Epstein-Barr virus load monitoring strategy, primary sclerosing cholangitis as an indication for LT, era (historic era linked to more intense long-term immunosuppression), and Epstein-Barr virus-seronegative recipient. No other independent risk factors were identified in this study. Of the 207 patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis as an indication for LT, 13 (6.3%) developed PTLD versus 16 out of 1074 (1.5%) patients with other underlying liver diseases (log-rank p <0.001). The yearly PTLD incidence was higher in the first year than in the later years after LT (2.4%/y vs. 0.6%/y) for primary sclerosing cholangitis, but not for other indications (0.16%/y). In Epstein-Barr virus-seronegative recipients PTLD occurred earlier after LT, while in 97% of seropositive recipients it could occur very late after LT.
