Predictors of Graft Survival amongst Recipients of Liver Allografts with Prolonged Cold Ischemic Time (CIT)
J. Steggerda,¹ K. Kim,¹ D. Malinoski,² M. Bloom.¹
¹Surgery, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA; ²Surgery, Oregon Health Science University, Portland, OR.
Background: CIT is an independent risk factor for worse outcomes in liver transplantation (LT). Factors contributing to improved graft survival in organs with CIT ≥12…

Cold Ischemia Time is an Important Risk Factor for Post-Liver Transplant Prolonged Length of Stay
E. Pan, D. Yoeli, N. Galvan, M. Kueht, R. Cotton, C. O'Mahony, J. Goss, A. Rana.
Michael E. DeBakey Department of Surgery, Division of Abdominal Transplantation, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX.
Background: Cold ischemia time (CIT) is often viewed as a categorical risk factor in liver transplantation. We hypothesize that the risk for adverse outcomes increases…

MELD-Na Score Based Liver Allocation: Hyponatremia is No Longer a Risk Factor for Waitlist Mortality
S. Nagai,¹ L. Chau,¹ M. Safwan,¹ R. Schilke,¹ M. Rizzari,¹ K. Collins,¹ A. Yoshida,¹ M. Abouljoud,¹ D. Moonka.²
¹Transplant and Hepatobiliary Surgery, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI; ²Gastroenterology, Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI.
Background: Hyponatremia is associated with an increased risk of liver transplant (LT) waitlist mortality. The aim of this study was to compare waitlist outcomes between…

Impact of Donation after Cardiac Death Allografts on Outcome Following Liver Transplantation for Fulminant Hepatic Failure: An Analysis of the UNOS Database
S. Kumar,¹ S. Lin,² J. Schold.²
¹Digestive Disease Institute, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates; ²Quantitative Health Sciences, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, OH.
Scarcity of donor organs in liver transplantation (LT) has necessitated consideration of extended criteria donors (ECDs), including donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors. The narrow…
