Brief Title: Association Between Pre-op Non-Selective Beta-Blockers and Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence Post-Liver Transplant
Official Title: Association Between Pre-operative Use of Non-selective Beta-blockers With the Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence Following Liver Transplantation : a Retrospective Cohort Study
Study ID: NCT06233708
Brief Summary: The goal of this observational study is to investigate the effect of non-selective beta-blocker (NSBB) on the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) following liver transplantation in patients who underwent liver transplantation (LT) for treating hepatocellular carcinoma. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Is the usage of non-selective beta-blocker associated with decreased recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma following liver transplantation? * Is the usage of non-selective beta-blocker associated with all-cause mortality following liver transplantation? Researchers will compare the NSBB group, including patients who received non-selective beta-blocker therapy for at least 30 consecutive days within 3 months prior to liver transplantation more than 30 days prior, with the control group to to see if non-selective beta-blocker treatment is associated with decreased recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma following liver transplantation.
