Popis: Factor V has never been compared to a validated early allograft dysfunction (EAD) definition. We aimed to assess factor V as a biomarker of EAD and a predictor of graft loss after liver transplantation (LT).We retrospectively assessed the serum factor V levels on postoperative day 1 after LT. Patients were divided according to their factor V levels into the ≤36.1 U/mL and36.1 U/mL groups. The primary outcome was graft loss within 1, 3, and 6 months. The secondary outcome was EAD, as defined by Olthoff et al. Predictors of outcomes were identified by multivariable logistic regression.Two hundred twenty-seven patients were included in the study: 74 with factor V of 36.1 U/mL or less and 153 with factor V36.1 U/mL. EAD was diagnosed in 41 (55.4%) of 74 patients with factor V of 36.1 U/mL or less and in 20/153 (13.1%) patients with factor V36.1 U/mL (P0.001). According to the multivariable regression model, factor V was a continuous marker of EAD (odds ratio [OR], 0.96; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.94-0.98 per U/mL). Among the study groups, the 1-, 3-, and 6-month graft survival rates were 82%, 74%, and 74%, respectively, for patients with factor V of 36.1 U/mL or less and 98%, 95%, and 95%, respectively, for patients with factor V36.1 U/mL (P = 0.001). Factor V was a continuous predictor for 3- and 6-month graft losses (OR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.94-0.99 and OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.94-0.99 per U/mL), whereas EAD was not significant when adjusted for factor V.Factor V is an early marker for EAD and is a continuous predictor of short-term graft loss after LT.
