Structures the inputs for the CAR-OLT risk score, a tool designed to predict the 1-year risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) following orthotopic liver transplantation. The score uses 12 pre-transplant characteristics to stratify candidates, helping to identify those who may require further cardiac testing versus those (Low Risk, score <= 23) who may proceed safely.
car_olt_score(age, sex, race, employment_status, education_level,
history_hcc, diabetes, heart_failure, atrial_fibrillation,
pulmonary_hypertension, systemic_hypertension, respiratory_failure)A list containing:
The formatted list of patient risk factors.
Interpretation based on the published low-risk cutoff (<= 23).
Numeric. Recipient age in years.
String. "Male" or "Female".
String. Recipient race (e.g., "White", "Black", "Other").
String. "Working" or "Not Working".
String. "College" or "High School or Less".
Numeric (0 or 1). History of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. (1 = Yes).
Numeric (0 or 1). History of Diabetes Mellitus. (1 = Yes).
Numeric (0 or 1). History of Heart Failure. (1 = Yes).
Numeric (0 or 1). History of Atrial Fibrillation. (1 = Yes).
Numeric (0 or 1). History of Pulmonary Hypertension. (1 = Yes).
Numeric (0 or 1). History of Systemic Hypertension. (1 = Yes).
Numeric (0 or 1). Respiratory failure (on ventilator) at time of transplant. (1 = Yes).
