Incidence and Risk Factors of Intracranial Hemorrhage in Liver Transplant Recipients

Background Intracranial hemorrhage after liver transplantation is an infrequently reported complication but one which can have devastating consequences. Methods We performed a retrospective cross-sectional analysis of all liver transplants performed between January 2010 and June 2015 at a single high-volume institution using a prospectively maintained electronic database and query of the electronic medical record. Cases of intracranial hemorrhage were adjudicated as either spontaneous intraparenchymal (IPH) or extra-axial (EAH) hemorrhages. Patients with confirmed intracranial hemorrhage were compared with all other liver transplant recipients. Risk factors were identified by univariate analysis and logistic regression models for IPH and EAH. Results Thirty-one (5.2%) of 595 liver transplant recipients developed an intracranial hemorrhage within 12 months of transplantation, 15 IPH and 16 EAH. The majority of intracranial hemorrhages were diagnosed within 1 month of transplantation. Eight (26%) intracranial hemorrhage patients died during hospitalization. Fourteen (45%) intracranial hemorrhage patients died within 1 year of transplantation and 1-year mortality was greater than in patients without intracranial hemorrhage (11.2%, p
