Abstract

The Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplant is a standardized psychosocial assessment recently used at ASST Papa Giovanni XXIII for the assessment of patients under evaluation for liver transplant. Currently, we are presenting a qualitative analysis of the initial group of patients under evaluation with this model. Our goal is to expand the analysis to all our patient population, and therefore to proceed with a quantitative analysis of the variables monitored: incidence of pre-liver transplant risk factors, comorbidities with or without other psychiatric disorders, presence/absence of alcohol and/or substance use disorders, social background, and neuropsychological screening.
