| description | Background:. Employment outcomes after liver transplant (LT) over the past decade have not been described.
Methods:. LT recipients ages 18–65 from 2010-2018 were identified in Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network data. Employment within two years post-transplant was assessed.
Results:. Of 35,340 LT recipients, 34.2% were employed post-LT, including 70.4% who were working pre-transplant, compared to only 18.2% not working preLT. Younger age, male sex, educational attainment, and functional status were associated with returning to employment.
Conclusion:. Returning to employment is an important goal for many LT candidates and recipients, and these findings can be used to guide their expectations. |
