Abstract

We evaluated the pulmonary complications following orthotopic liver transplantation in 45 children (age < 18 y). 22 patients (49%) developed respiratory complications. Pediatric end-stage liver disease (PELD) score >25 and positive fluid balance were independent risk factors. Patients with respiratory complication had significantly higher mortality and intensive care unit stay.
