James D. Perkins, Jeffrey B. Halldorson, Ramasamy Bakthavatsalam, Oren K. Fix, Robert L. Carithers, Jorge D. Reyes – 28 January 2009 – Studies have shown that liver transplantation offers no survival benefits to patients with Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores ≤ 14 in comparison with remaining on the waitlist. The consensus of a 2003 transplant community national conference was that a minimum MELD score should be required for placement on the liver waitlist, but no minimum listing national policy was enacted at that time.

Adam Davis, Philip Rosenthal, David Glidden – 28 January 2009 – Nine to twenty‐nine percent of pediatric liver transplant recipients require retransplantation. No previous pediatric study has proposed a prognostic scoring system. We have used the United Network for Organ Sharing transplantation database to conduct a retrospective cohort study of patients who were less than 18 years of age when they received their retransplant (n = 1130).
