The primary objective of this study was to leverage the National Readmissions Database (NRD) to distinguish 90\u2010day readmission rates and morbidity among those undergoing LT for MASLD and non\u2010MASLD etiologies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Recipients undergoing LT were identified in the NRD between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2022. Morbidity was defined as an aggregate of common surgical complications. Univariate and age\u2010sex adjusted quasi\u2010Poisson regressions were used to identify trends and differences in characteristics for patients stratified by indication for LT. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with 90\u2010day readmissions and morbidity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A weighted total of 58 148 LT procedures were identified, of which 11 235 (19.3%) had MASLD etiology. LT for MASLD increased over the study period, while LT for hepatitis C and liver cancer decreased. Relative to non\u2010MASLD LT recipients, MASLD LT recipients had increased comorbid risk profiles, including higher rates of class 3 obesity (body mass index [BMI] \u2265 40) and associated liver cancer. MASLD LT recipients had lower rates of 90\u2010day readmission, morbidity, and cardiovascular complications (all\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05). Among patients with class 3 obesity and liver cancer, MASLD etiology was associated with improved or non\u2010inferior 90\u2010day outcomes relative to non\u2010MASLD LT recipients. Finally, among MASLD LT recipients, the presence of chronic kidney disease, prior bariatric surgery, dialysis, female sex, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease were independent predictors of 90\u2010day morbidity and readmission.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Despite an increased comorbid risk profile, MASLD LT recipients had superior 90\u2010day readmission rates and morbidity outcomes relative to non\u2010MASLD LT recipients.
