Is There a Difference with Aged Grafts?

Introduction: Donors for liver transplantation are accepted beyond “optimal” due to grafts shortage. We aim analyze our results stratifying donors by age. Methods: Retrospective study: transplants from 2013 2018. Groups according donor's age: 1 (< 20); 2 (20 - 39), 3 (40 59) and 4 (> 60 years old). Statistical analysis with a significance level < 0,05. Results: n=265 transplants, Group 1:41, 2:77, 3:106 4:41. Most frequent death diagnosis were stroke (53%), prevalent in older donors, head injury (37%) younger ones (p< 0,001). 68% of had overweight or obesity, being higher groups (p=0,006). There no differences enzymes, sodium, use vasopressors, cardiac arrest. 91% splits Hepatorenal used only group Analyzing recipients livers patients (p=0,007).

Graft survival overall did not yield results, though at 5 lower (p=0,053). Conclusion: suboptimal is feasible similar but an adequate selection recipient also essential.
