Pancreas Rejection in the Artificial Intelligence Era
Vigia, Emanuel; Ramalhete, Luís; Ribeiro, Rita; Barros, Inês; Chumbinho, Beatriz; Filipe, Edite; Pena, Ana; Bicho, Luís; Nobre, Ana; Carrelha, SofiaIntroduction: Pancreas transplantation is currently the only treatment that can re-establish normal endocrine pancreatic function. Despite all efforts, pancreas allograft survival and rejection remain major clinical problems. The purpose of this study was to identify features that could signal patients at risk of pancreas allograft rejection. Methods: We collected 74 features from 79 patients who underwent simu...
The Impact of Donor Risk Index, Recipients' and Operative Characteristics on Po...
Cardoso, Filipe S.; Bagulho, Luis; Coelho, João S.; Lamelas, Jorge; Mateus, Élia; Mendes, Milena; Glória, Helena; Ribeiro, Vasco; Mega, RaquelPublisher Copyright: © 2022; Background and Aims: The donor risk index (DRI) quantifies donor-related characteristics potentially associated with increased risk of early graft failure. We aimed to assess the impact of the DRI, recipient and perioperative factors on post liver transplant (LT) outcomes. Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study including all adult (≥18 years) patients who under...
Combined lung-kidney transplantation

Few cases of combined lung-kidney transplantation have been described in the literature; however, it is known that, in certain cases, it is the only way to offer an opportunity...
