To determine the potential role of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in cirrhotic @entity1 surviving a first episode of @entity298 ( @entity298 ), medical records of 79 @entity1 presenting with a first episode of @entity298 were reviewed. Of these @entity1 , 37 were selected as potential candidates for OLT using the following criteria: absence of @entity157 ; no severe organ failure other than the liver; age < or = 66 years; and survival after @entity298 > 60 days. Survival time was calculated from the day of @entity298 diagnosis. Prognostic value of clinical, biological and bacteriological data recorded at the time of @entity298 was determined using univariate and multivariate analysis (Cox's regression model). Survival rate of the potential candidates for OLT at 3 months, 1 year and 2 years was 94, 46 and 30% respectively. Serum @entity1011 value (P = 0.001) and Pugh score (P = 0.005) were independently correlated with @entity204 . The 1 year survival rate was 80% for the 11 @entity1 with a Pugh score < 10, and 26% for the 26 @entity1 with a Pugh score > or = 10. Our results suggest that after @entity298 , OLT should be considered in @entity1 with severe @entity409 . Survival of @entity1 with a moderate @entity409 (i.e. Pugh score < 10) might be relatively high.
