Intraoperative Core Temperature Trajectory Phenotypes and Early Allograft Dysfunction After Liver Transplantation: A Retrospective Cohort Study

This retrospective cohort study identifies four intraoperative core temperature trajectory phenotypes in liver transplant recipients and finds that while lower-temperature patterns around reperfusion are initially associated with early allograft dysfunction, this link is attenuated after adjusting for intraoperative stress factors, suggesting that hypothermia may be a marker of physiological stress rather than an independent cause of graft injury.
