Carlos A. Q. Santos, Daniel C. Brennan, William C. Chapman, Victoria J. Fraser, Margaret A. Olsen – 11 February 2015 – Delayed‐onset cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease can occur among liver transplant recipients after CMV prophylaxis is stopped. We hypothesized that delayed‐onset CMV disease (>100 days after transplant) occurs more commonly than early‐onset CMV disease and is associated with clinical sepsis and death.

Kellie Young, Nicholas Fidelman, Francis Y. Yao, Nancy K. Hills, Maureen P. Kohi, K. Pallav Kolli, Andrew G. Taylor, Robert K. Kerlan – 11 February 2015 – The goal of this study was to determine whether the detection of discordant numbers of hypervascular foci at hepatic angiography versus contrast‐enhanced (CE) cross‐sectional imaging [computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)] is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who are listed for liver transplantation.

Thomas D. Schiano, Tyler Bourgoise, Rosamond Rhodes – 4 February 2015 – In making liver transplantation (LT) listing decisions, transplant programs accept that very large differences in expected 5‐year posttransplant survival should matter and that small differences in expected survival should not matter. To date, the transplant community has not explicitly addressed the difficult question of how to make decisions when the differences are less dramatic.

C. Matthew Hawkins, Dennis W. W. Shaw, Patrick J. Healey, Simon P. Horslen, Andre A. S. Dick, Seth Friedman, Giridhar M. Shivaram – 3 February 2015 – The objective of this study was to determine which transabdominal ultrasound parameters correlate with portal vein stenosis (PVS) on percutaneous transhepatic portal venography in pediatric liver transplant patients. A retrospective review was performed of percutaneous transhepatic portal venograms performed between 2005 and 2013. The findings were compared to those from ultrasounds performed before venography and at the baseline.

Vincent Montoya, Andrea D. Olmstead, Naveed Z. Janjua, Patrick Tang, Jason Grebely, Darrel Cook, P. Richard Harrigan, Mel Krajden – 2 February 2015 – The ability to classify acute versus chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections at the time of diagnosis is desirable to improve the quality of surveillance information. The aim of this study was to differentiate acute from chronic HCV infections utilizing deep sequencing.
