Outcomes in Living Donor Compared With Deceased Donor Primary Liver Transplantation in Lower Acuity Patients With Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease Scores <30
Toshihiro Kitajima, Dilip Moonka, Sirisha Yeddula, Kelly Collins, Michael Rizzari, Atsushi Yoshida, Marwan S. Abouljoud, Shunji Nagai – 24 January 2021 – Although recent studies have reported favorable outcomes in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), it remains unclear which populations benefit most from LDLT. This study aims to evaluate LDLT outcomes compared with deceased donor LT (DDLT) according to Model for End‐Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score categories.
