Highlights

Patients with immune-related adverse events (irAEs) during pretransplant immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy had a markedly higher odds of post‑transplant liver allograft rejection (OR 9.17).

A short washout period from last ICI dose to transplantation (<30 days) and recipient age under 40 years were additional independent risk factors; a multivariable model showed acceptable discrimination (AUC 0.788).
