Jacek B. Cywinski, Jing You, Maged Argalious, Samuel Irefin, Brian M. Parker, John J. Fung, Colleen G. Koch – 27 June 2013 – Investigations have demonstrated conflicting results regarding the influence of the red blood cell (RBC) storage duration on outcomes. We evaluated whether graft failure or mortality after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) increased when recipients were transfused with older RBCs. This study included 637 patients who underwent OLT between January 2001 and June 2011.

Riley, Zakiyah Kadry – 24 June 2013 – A positive crossmatch has been associated with increased risk in liver transplantation. To study the clinical significance of preformed donor‐specific human leukocyte antigen antibodies (DSAs) in liver transplantation, we reviewed patients who underwent liver transplantation with a strongly positive flow cytometry crossmatch. DSAs were evaluated with a Luminex solid phase assay.
