Employment outcomes after liver transplant (LT) over the past decade have not been described.
LT recipients ages 18-65 from 2010-2018 were identified in Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network data. Employment within two years post-transplant was assessed.
Of 35,340 LT recipients, 34.2% were employed post-LT, including 70.4% who were working pre-transplant, compared to only 18.2% not working preLT. Younger age, male sex, educational attainment, and functional status were associated with returning to employment.
Returning to employment is an important goal for many LT candidates and recipients, and these findings can be used to guide their expectations.
过去十年中，肝移植（LT）后的就业结果尚未得到描述。
在器官获取与移植网络数据中，确定了 2010 年至 2018 年期间年龄在 18-65 岁的 LT 受者。评估了移植后两年内的就业情况。
在 35340 名 LT 受者中，34.2%在 LT 后就业，其中 70.4%在移植前工作，而仅 18.2%在移植前不工作。年龄较小、男性、教育程度和功能状态与恢复就业相关。
对于许多 LT 候选人和受者来说，重返工作岗位是一个重要目标，这些发现可用于指导他们的期望。
