Prognosis Analysis of Elderly Donor Liver From Donation After Cardiac Death in Liver Transplantation: a Multicenter Clinical Study

Based on the follow-up data of elderly donation after cardiac death(DCD) donor liver transplant recipients from the CLTR, a database and official website for national data gathering. patients who met the enrollment criteria were screened for postoperative complications and survival for statistical analysis to understand the prognosis of patients and analyze the risk factors affecting their prognosis.

Detailed Description

Since the Chinese organ donation system was developed in 2015, donation has been the only source of organs for transplantation in China. Adult patients (age 18 or older) who underwent LT using grafts from deceased donors between January 1st, 2015, and December 31st, 2018, were retrospectively identified using the CLTR, a database and official website for national data gathering. Based on the follow-up data of elderly DCD donor liver transplant recipients from the CLTR, a database and official website for national data gathering. patients who met the enrollment criteria were screened for postoperative complications and survival for statistical analysis to understand the prognosis of patients and analyze the risk factors affecting their prognosis.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
OLDs
Older liver donors (OLDs) and recipients were defined as individuals whose donor age was equal to or greater than 60 years. Subjects matching the characteristics of this group were screened from the database according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and preoperative and postoperative characteristics of the corresponding recipients and donors were collected and recorded for subsequent analysis.
The study was retrospective and did not involve the application of interventions.
ILDs
Ideal or young liver donors (ILDs) and recipients were defined as donors aged 18-40 years. Subjects matching the characteristics of this group were screened from the database according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and preoperative and postoperative characteristics of the corresponding recipients and donors were collected and recorded for subsequent analysis.
The study was retrospective and did not involve the application of interventions.
ALDs
Average liver donors (ALDs) and recipients were defined as donor age 40-59 years. Subjects matching the characteristics of this group were screened from the database according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and preoperative and postoperative characteristics of the corresponding recipients and donors were collected and recorded for subsequent analysis.
The study was retrospective and did not involve the application of interventions.
