This $182,689 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), under the Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.847), will support research by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to investigate survivorship trajectories and outcomes following liver transplantation. The key products and services to be delivered include:
-
Characterizing distinct post-liver transplant survivorship phenotypes by mapping patient-reported and clinically measured outcomes over time using group-based trajectory modeling.
-
Investigating the relationship between identified survivorship phenotypes and outcomes such as medication non-adherence, quality of life, and healthcare utilization.
-
Adapting and piloting a navigator-based intervention to be integrated into post-liver transplant care, with the goal of directing at-risk survivors to necessary resources.
This research aims to fill gaps in understanding survivorship and clinical care after liver transplantation, with the potential to improve outcomes for this patient population. The project will be carried out over a period of nearly 5 years, from the award start date of March 2025 through the ultimate completion date of December 2029.
