Abstract
Preoperative red blood cell (RBC) transfusion can induce immune modulation and alloimmunization; however, few studies have investigated the effect of preoperative transfusion and hemoglobin levels that need to be corrected before surgery, especially in critically ill patients such as those with end-stage liver disease who undergo liver transplantation (LT). This study aimed to investigate the effects of preoperative RBC transfusion on long-term mortality in LT recipients. A total of 249 patients who underwent LT at a single center between January 2012 and December 2021 were included in this study. The patients were divided into 2 groups: preoperative transfusion and preoperative non-transfusion. Since the baseline characteristics were significantly different between the 2 groups, we performed propensity score matching, including factors such as the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease score and intraoperative RBC transfusion, to exclude possible biases that could affect prognosis. We analyzed the 5-year mortality rate as the primary outcome. The preoperative transfusion group showed a 4.84-fold higher hazard ratio than that in the preoperative non-transfusion group. There were no differences in 30-day mortality, duration of intensive care unit stay, or graft rejection rate between the 2 groups. Preoperative transfusion could influence long-term mortality in LT, and clinicians should pay attention to RBC transfusion before LT unless the patient is hemodynamically unstable. A large-scale randomized controlled trial is needed to determine the possible mechanisms related to preoperative RBC transfusion, long-term mortality, and the level of anemia that should be corrected before surgery.

Abstract
This systematic review aimed to investigate the available quality of evidence (QOE) of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) for liver transplantation (LT) on short-term outcomes, grade recommendations and identify relevant components for ERAS protocols. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on short-term outcomes after LT when applying comprehensive ERAS protocols (>1 ERAS component) versus control groups (CRD42021210374), following the GRADE approach for grading quality of evidence and strength of recommendations. Endpoints were morbidity, mortality, length of stay and readmission rates after ERAS for LT. Of 858 screened articles, two randomized controlled trials, 2 prospective and 1 retrospective cohort studies were included (2002 - 2020). Frequent ERAS components were early extubation and postoperative antibiotic, fluid and nutrition management. Overall complications were reduced in ERAS versus control cohorts (OR 0.4 (CI 0.2, 0.7), with no significant differences in mortality and hospital readmission rates. Intensive care unit and hospital length of stay were shorter in ERAS groups (percentage decrease, 55% and 29%, respectively). QOE for individual outcomes was rated moderate to low. ERAS protocols in LT are related to improved short-term outcomes after liver transplantation (Quality of Evidence; Moderate to low | Grade of Recommendation; Strong), but currently lack standardization.
