Material economic hardships are associated with second-year hospitalizations after pediatric liver transplantation: Results from the SOCIAL-Tx study

The authors aimed to investigate the association between material economic hardship at the time of pediatric liver transplantation and subsequent hospitalizations in the second year post-transplant. Their study found that caregivers reporting economic hardship at transplant were nearly twice as likely to have their children hospitalized in the second year, underscoring the need for routine screening and support for families facing economic challenges to improve long-term health outcomes.
