Figure 1. Pneumonia increases pulmonary metastasis and nomogram incorporating risk factors is effective. Liver transplantation recipients for HCC with pneumonia had increased pulmonary metastasis (A) and decreased overall survival (B). After PSM, two paired groups of patients were formed, with 72 subjects in each. Recipients with pneumonia showed increased pulmonary metastasis (C) and shortened overall survival (D); Nomogram incorporating risk factors predicted pulmonary metastasis for LT recipients (E) and was externally validated in an independent cohort (C-index 0.794, F)
