Risk factor for PTLD after liver transplantation
Considering the influence of confounding factors on the results of single-factor analysis, factors, such as EBV infection, tacrolimus concentration, ALT, AST, PLT, and CHOL, should be further analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis.
The results showed that EBV infection was an independent risk factor for PTLD (P<0.05). Tacrolimus concentration, ALT, AST, PLT, and CHOL had varying degrees of difference in the incidence of PTLD; however, no statistical differences were identified (P>0.05) (Table 4).
