TLDR
A quantitative donor risk index was developed using national data from 1998 to 2002 to assess the risk of donor liver graft failure using seven donor characteristics that independently predicted significantly increased risk of graft failure.About:

TL;DR: A simple definition of EAD using objective posttransplant criteria identified a 23% incidence, and was highly associated with graft loss and patient mortality, validating previously published criteria.

TL;DR: Issues directly related to the organ donation process, including donor consent, donor medical suitability, non‐recovery of organs, organs recovered but not transplanted, expanded criteria donors (ECD), and donation after cardiac death (DCD), are discussed.

TL;DR: It is critical to balance waitlist mortality against posttransplant mortality to ensure that patients on a waitlist do not die unnecessarily.

TL;DR: The BAR system provides a new, simple and reliable tool to detect unfavorable combinations of donor and recipient factors, and is readily available before decision making of accepting or not an organ for a specific recipient.

TL;DR: The MELD scale is a reliable measure of mortality risk in patients with end‐stage liver disease and suitable for use as a disease severity index to determine organ allocation priorities in patient groups with a broader range of disease severity and etiology.

TL;DR: Data suggest that the MELD score is able to accurately predict 3-month mortality among patients with chronic liver disease on the liver waiting list and can be applied for allocation of donor livers.

TL;DR: With 1 year post-transplant follow‐up, patients at lower risk of pre‐transplant death do not have a demonstrable survival benefit from liver transplant, and Liver transplant survival benefit at 1 year is concentrated among patients at higher risk ofPre‐trans transplant death.
