SALAZAR-FLOREZ, Jorge Emilio et al. Metabolic syndrome after liver transplant in patients at the specialized Center San Vicente Fundación, Rionegro, Antioquia, Colombia, 2013-2017. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2022, vol.39, n.4, pp.474-479. Epub 22-Dez-2022. ISSN 1726-4634. http://dx.doi.org/10.17843/rpmesp.2022.394.11992.
The medical records of all liver transplant patients attended at the Centro Especializado San Vicente Fundación between January 2013 and June 2017 were reviewed in order to determine the frequency of post-transplant metabolic syndrome (MS). We collected sociodemographic data, pathological history, toxicological history, complications, and ATP III criteria in a validated instrument. The statistical analysis was carried out with OpenEpi 3.01; p<0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Of the 102 reviewed medical records, 73 met the inclusion criteria (no MS diagnosis prior to transplant and complete information for the instrument) and were analyzed. Most patients were male (59%), older adults (64%) and married (62%). The frequency of MS after liver transplant was 66%. The association between MS and history of hypertension and diabetes was significant. We confirmed that MS is a frequent complication in liver transplant recipients and that history of hypertension and diabetes are the most frequent associated factors.
