Weight loss interventions in living donor liver transplantation as a tool in expanding the donor pool: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Figure 1 Forest plot showing mean difference in body mass index post-pre intervention in the intervention groups. Mean difference = -2.08 (-3.06, 1.10, I² = 78%), with a significantly lower post-intervention body mass index as compared to the pre-intervention body mass index. CI: Confidence interval; SD: Standard deviation.

Figure 2 Forest plot showing mean difference in steatosis post-pre intervention. Mean difference = -21.22 (-27.02, -15.43, I² = 56%), with significantly lower post intervention steatosis as compared to pre intervention steatosis. CI: Confidence interval; SD: Standard deviation.

Figure 3 Living liver donation rates after weight loss interventions. Rate = 88.5% (74.5%-95.3%, I² = 42%). CI: Confidence interval.

Figure 4 Odds ratio comparing rate of donor post-operative biliary complications in intervention group compared to control donors - odds ratio 0. 96 (0.14, 6.69), I² = 0.
