Introduction: Liver transplantation is a widely distinguished and highly practical therapy for liver cirrhosis. In any case, liver transplant surgery assumes a risk of influential complications. In this way, the survival rate of liver transplant patients at Razi Healing Center in Rasht from ۲۰۱۷ to ۲۰۲۲ was investigated.Materials and Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, liver transplant patients referred to Razi Hospital in Rasht, Iran, from ۲۰۱۷ to ۲۰۲۲ were studied. Patient demographic and clinical information were collected. Survival was determined using Kaplan-Meier estimates. Log rank was used to determine differences between study groups in survival.Results: Out of ۴۶ patients who underwent liver transplantation surgery, ۵۴.۳% of patients survived. Also, the most common causes of death for the samples of this study were COVID-۱۹ and hemorrhage. Patients with autoimmune cirrhosis due to hepatitis have a significantly higher risk of death than those with cirrhosis due to other factors. Postoperative vascular thrombosis was found to be significantly associated with reduced patient survival. Patient outcomes improved significantly in the second part of the six-year liver transplant study. The study highlights the importance of increasing experience in liver transplant surgery and postoperative care to improve outcomes.Conclusion: According to the results of this study, patients with autoimmune cirrhosis due to hepatitis have a higher risk of death than those with cirrhosis due to other causes. In addition, postoperative vascular thrombosis is believed to significantly reduce patient survival. The study highlights the importance of increasing experience in liver transplant surgery and postoperative care to improve outcomes for these patients.Introduction: Liver transplantation is a widely distinguished and highly practical therapy for liver cirrhosis.
