There is a paucity of information on the utilization patterns of liver transplantation (LT) for HIV-positive individuals. The aim of this study is to examine the trends in LT of HIV patients in the US. This study was a retrospective analysis using the UNOS database (1999-2008). There were 135 HIV-positive patients. There was a steady increase in the number of LT recipients over time as well as regional variation. Ethnic minorities accounted for 33.3% and there was no ethnic difference in survival. Though LT for HIV-positive patients is on the rise, significant variations exist in patient demographics, geographic location, and insurance payer.
有关 HIV 阳性个体肝移植（LT）利用模式的信息很少。本研究旨在检查美国 HIV 患者 LT 的趋势。本研究使用 UNOS 数据库（1999-2008 年）进行回顾性分析。共有 135 例 HIV 阳性患者。随着时间的推移，LT 受者的数量以及区域差异呈稳步增加。少数民族占 33.3%，存活率无种族差异。尽管针对 HIV 阳性患者的 LT 呈上升趋势，但患者人口统计学、地理位置和保险支付人方面仍存在显著差异。
