OBJECTIVES: @entity65 are the most common causes of early mortality after liver transplant. We evaluated the causes of @entity1576 as an early postoperative @entity358 in liver transplant recipients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: @entity1 who underwent orthotropic liver transplant between 2001 and 2014 were retrospectively evaluated. Clinical and demographic variables and @entity358 at the first and second visit after transplant were noted. The first visit was within the first week and the second was between 1 and 4 weeks after transplant. An arterial @entity26 saturation value below 90% in room air for at least 1 day was considered a medically significant @entity1576 . RESULTS: Our study included 204 (148 @entity1 and 56 @entity1 ; mean age 43.0.4    13.06 y) adult liver transplant recipients (46 from deceased and 158 from living donors). At the first visit after transplant, 161 @entity1 (79%) had @entity260 , including @entity1143 accompanied by @entity891 (47.1%), only @entity891 (17.2%), and only @entity1143 (10.3%). At the second visit, complications included @entity891 associated with @entity1143 (12.3%) and @entity55 (12.3%). All @entity1 had documented @entity1576 at the first visit, and 92 @entity1 (45.1%) had @entity1576 at the second visit. Causes of @entity1576 at the first visit included @entity891 in 35 @entity1 (17.2%) and @entity891 accompanied by @entity1143 in 96 @entity1 (47.1%). At the second visit, 25 of 161 @entity1 (25.3%) had @entity1576 due to @entity55 . Other causes included @entity891 accompanied by @entity1143 (24.2%) and @entity1143 (23.2%). Ninety-seven @entity1 had no @entity358 . The mortality rate was 6.4% within the first visit and 8.7% within the second visit. CONCLUSIONS: @entity55 , @entity891 , and @entity1143 can cause @entity1576 within the first month after liver transplant. Early pulmonary examination, diagnosis, and treatment can improve @entity1 survival.
