| Patients who experienced an NC during hospitalization after liver transplant have longer entire hospital stays and ICU stays, have higher risks of ICU re-admission and in-hospital death, and are more likely to be discharged to rehabilitation facilities (used as a surrogate measure of disability). ICU – intensive care unit; NCs – neurological complications; nNCs – non-neurological complications; OR – odds ratio. | ||||
