With the continuous development of liver transplantation technology, liver transplantation has been proven to be an effective treatment for end-stage liver disease, and the number of liver transplantation performed in China has been increasing year by year. Currently, the main sources of donor livers are from donation after brain death and donation after cardiac death. Although these have expanded the sources compared to the early days of liver transplantation, China, being a country with a high prevalence of liver diseases, still faces a significant gap between the demand and supply of organs, which has become the most important factor restricting the conduct of liver transplantation. Many donor livers, due to underlying diseases, prolonged ischemia, and other "marginal" factors, may lead to graft dysfunction and other complications after transplantation when using expanded criteria marginal donor livers, which can severely affect the recipient's prognosis and may even result in the discard of marginal donor livers. In order to increase the utilization rate of grafts, reduce the incidence of severe complications after liver transplantation, and improve the long-term prognosis of recipients, preoperative quality assessment of donor livers, selection of appropriate perfusion and preservation methods, and monitoring of relevant indicators in the perfusate should be performed. The above measures can, to a certain extent, expand the donor pool, predict and reduce postoperative complications through intervention, extend the overall survival time of patients, enhance the overall effectiveness of liver transplantation, and reduce the waiting time for end-stage patients to receive a transplant.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and risk factors for allogeneic transfusion after unilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods 852 patients (663 female and 189 male) underwent primary unilateral TKA from January 2014 to December 2014 were included.Average age of included patients were 64.9±7.9 years old (22-87).829 patients were osteoarthritis,others rheumatoid arthritis.The ASA score,BMI,doctor groups,diabetes,hypertension,thrombus (duplex color Doppler ultrasonography),pre-HGB,pre-HCT,pre-TP,pre-Cr,pre-BUN,pre-PT,operation time,starting MABP of the operation,anesthesia and TXA were collected.Potential risk factors for allogeneic transfusion were analyzed statistically via univariate and multivariate regression analysis.Results The preoperative hemoglobin level in 71 (8.3％) patients were lower than that in normal (male ＜120 g/L,female ＜110 g/L).The hematokrit in 27 (3.2％) patients were lower than that in normal (male ＜40％,female ＜37％).TXA was used in 740 (86.9％) patients during the operation.Allogeneic transfusion was performed in 202 (23.7％) the patients after TKA.The differences in the following items within two groups were statistically significant via univariate analysis (P＜0.05),female and male,≥70 and ＜ 70 years,pre-HGB normal and low,pre-HCT normal and low and with and without TXA.Female [OR=2.283,95％CI (1.405,3.711)],patient age of 70 years or older [OR=2.048,95％CI (2.064,4.292)],preoperative hemoglobin level low [male ＜ 120 g/L,female ＜ 110 g/L,OR=1.506,95％CI (1.376,4.427)] and preoperative hematokrit below normal [male ＜ 40％,female ＜ 37％,OR=3.412,95％CI (1.086,6.591)] were independent predictors for postoperative allogeneic transfusion in multivariate regression analysis.Conclusion The allogeneic transfusion rate after unilateral TKA was 23.7％.Female,older than 70 years and preoperative anemia were independent predictors for postoperative allogeneic transfusion after TKA.TXA can effectively decrease the postoperative allogeneic transfusion rate and the amount of transfusion.
