A retrospective analysis of risk factors for incisional hernias in orthotopic liver transplant recipients
PROJECT COMPLETE
Project Host: Dr Callum Riley
Project Type: Large data research study
Project Summary: The survival of orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) recipients is increasing. As such, improving the quality of life of these patients is becoming an increasing priority. Previous studies have demonstrated that a large factor which can decrease the quality of life in these patients is the presence of an incisional hernia. Due to the large incisions used in OLT, these hernias are often large and debilitating.
With access to the entire OLT database back to 2013 at UHB (over 2000 patients), we are conducting a retrospective analysis looking at possible risk factors for incisional hernia development in OLT patients. Previous studies have investigated this before, though this is by far the largest study.
We will be aiming for presentation in 2024 and possibly a publication.
We have a large dataset. informatics have given us all the data we have, but manual input of some data is needed. If you are interested in helping out please get in touch.
For any budding surgeons: the data collection for this project will also generate lists which can be used for other projects around incisional hernias in this patient cohort. If you are interested in discussing these please get in touch.
