Quantitative Methods for Optimizing Patient Outcomes in Liver Transplantation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Liver transplantation continues to be the gold standard for treating patients with end-stage liver diseases. However, despite the huge success of liver transplantation in improving patient outcomes, long term graft survival continues to be a major problem.

Transplantation, 2019 Background. In the United States, 1 in 10 infants and 1 in 20 older children die on the liver transplant waiting list. Increasing split liver transplantation could increase organ availability for these children, without decreasing transplants in adults ...

A Method for Modeling Growth of Organs and Transplants Based on the General Growth Law: Application to the Liver in Dogs and Humans [PDF]
PLoS ONE 2014, 9(6): e99275, 2015 Understanding biological phenomena requires a systemic approach that incorporates different mechanisms acting on different spatial and temporal scales, since in organisms the workings of all components, such as organelles, cells, and organs interrelate.

Multi-Task Learning for Post-transplant Cause of Death Analysis: A Case Study on Liver Transplant [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Organ transplant is the essential treatment method for some end-stage diseases, such as liver failure. Analyzing the post-transplant cause of death (CoD) after organ transplant provides a powerful tool for clinical decision making, including personalized treatment and organ allocation. However, traditional methods like Model for End-stage Liver Disease

Liver transplantation for hepatitis C virus (HCV) non‐viremic recipients with HCV viremic donors
American Journal of Transplantation, 2018 In the context of organ shortage, the opioid epidemic, and effective direct‐acting antiviral (DAA) therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV), more HCV‐infected donor organs may be used for liver transplantation.

Method for finding metabolic properties based on the general growth law. Liver examples. A General framework for biological modeling [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014, 9(6): e99836, 2015 We propose a method for finding metabolic parameters of cells, organs and whole organisms, which is based on the earlier discovered general growth law. Based on the obtained results and analysis of available biological models, we propose a general framework for modeling biological phenomena and discuss how it can be used in Virtual Liver Network ...

Physical frailty after liver transplantation
American Journal of Transplantation, 2018 Frailty is prevalent in liver transplant candidates, but little is known of what happens to frailty after liver transplantation. We analyzed data for 214 adult liver transplant recipients who had ≥1 frailty assessment using the Liver Frailty Index (LFI ...

Explainable Machine Larning for liver transplantation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 In this work, we present a flexible method for explaining, in human readable terms, the predictions made by decision trees used as decision support in liver transplantation. The decision trees have been obtained through machine learning applied on a dataset collected at the liver transplantation unit at the Coru\~na University Hospital Center and are ...

A Rule-Based System for Explainable Donor-Patient Matching in Liver Transplantation [PDF]
EPTCS 306, 2019, pp. 266-272, 2019 In this paper we present web-liver, a rule-based system for decision support in the medical domain, focusing on its application in a liver transplantation unit for implementing policies for donor-patient matching. The rule-based system is built on top of an interpreter for logic programs with partial functions, called lppf, that extends the paradigm of
