Objective To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of metabolic syndrome (MS) after adult liver transplantation (LT) recipients. Methods The clinicopathologic data of patients with survival time ≥1 year underwent LT in the People’s Hospital of Zhongshan City from January 1, 2015 to August 31, 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. The logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors affecting MS occurrence after LT, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the optimal cutoff value of the index of predicting MS occurrence and its corresponding evaluation effect. Results A total of 107 patients who met the inclusion criteria were collected in this study. Based on the diagnostic criteria of MS of Chinese Medical Association Diabetes Association, the occurrence rate of MS after LT was 32.7% (35/107). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the increased age of the recipient [OR (95%CI)=1.106 (1.020, 1.199), P=0.014], preoperative increased body mass index [OR (95%CI)=1.439 (1.106, 1.872), P=0.007] and blood glucose level [OR (95%CI)=1.708 (1.317, 2.213), P<0.001], and with preoperative smoking history [OR (95%CI)=5.814 (1.640, 20.610), P=0.006] and drinking history [OR (95%CI)=5.390 (1.454, 19.984), P=0.012] increased the probability of MS after LT. The areas under the ROC curve (AUC) corresponding to these five indexes were 0.666, 0.669, 0.769, 0.682, and 0.612, respectively. The corresponding optimal cutoff values of three continuous variables (recipient’s age, preoperative body mass index, and blood glucose level) were 53 years old, 23.1 kg/m2, and 6.8 mmol/L, respectively. The AUC of combination of the above five indexes in predicting occurrence of MS was 0.903 [95%CI (0.831, 0.952)], and the sensitivity and specificity were 80.0% and 90.3%, respectively. Conclusions Incidence of MS after adult LT recipient is not low. For recipients with preoperative hyperglycemia, obese, elderly, histories of drinking and smoking before LT need to pay attention to the early detection and early intervention of MS.
