Trends in Outcomes for Marginal Allografts in Liver Transplant.

ABSTRACT: Investigating outcomes after marginal allograft transplant is essential in determining appropriate and more aggressive use of these allografts. To determine the time trends in the outcomes of marginal liver allografts as defined by 6 different sets of criteria. In this case-control, multicenter study, 75 050 patients who received a liver transplant between March 1, 2002, and September 30, 2016, were retrospectively analyzed to last known follow-up (n = 55 395) or death (n = 19 655) using the United Network for Organ Sharing Database. The study period was divided into three 5-year eras: 2002-2006, 2007-2011, and 2012-2016. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis with log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression analysis were used to examine the allograft after transplant with marginal allog
