Acute cellular rejection represents the most important single risk factor for the occurrence of chronic rejection after organ transplantation. We correlated late acute rejections with the occurrence of chronic graft failure after liver transplantation. We followed 1426 liver transplants for late acute rejection episodes defined as occurring >3 months after OLT. The overall incidence of chronic rejection in our patient population was 3.7%. In summary, we observed a predictive increase of transaminase levels prior to routine biopsies among patients with histologic evidence of late acute rejections. In contrast to other organ systems, late acute rejection episodes were not associated with the occurrence of chronic graft deterioration in liver grafts.

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons.

D016019 Survival Analysis A class of statistical procedures for estimating the survival function (function of time, starting with a population 100% well at a given time and providing the percentage of the population still well at later times). The survival analysis is then used for making inferences about the effects of treatments, prognostic factors, exposures, and other covariates on the function.
