Neurologic complications occur in up to 40% of adult abdominal solid organ transplant recipients and are associated with increased mortality. Comparable pediatric data are sparse. This study describes the occurrence of neurologic and behavioral complications (neurobehavioral complications) in pediatric abdominal solid organ transplant recipients. We examine the association of these complications with length of stay, mortality, and tacrolimus levels.
