Abstract: Background: Cryoprecipitate is largely used for acquired hypofibrinogenemia in the setting of massive hemorrhage in liver transplantation (LT). However, the influence of intraoperative cryoprecipitate transfusion on biliary complications (BC) after LT has not been studied in detail. Study Design and Methods: In a series of 356 adult patients who received their first LT, the causes of BC were retrospectively studied by multivariate logistic regression analysis. The clinical relationship between intraoperative cryoprecipitate transfusion and BC occurrence was studied through a retrospective cohort study in patients. All patients received follow-ups for one year, and, during the follow-up period, the time of BC occurrence and liver biopsies were recorded. Results: Intraoperative cryoprecipitate transfusion (RR = 3.46, 95% CI [1.72–6.97], P 8 h (RR = 4.24, 95% CI [2.28–7.92], P
