Article Synopsis
- Donation after circulatory determination of death (DCD) is an important method for increasing liver transplant options, especially as the donor pool ages.
- A study was conducted from August 2020 to May 2022, comparing transplant outcomes of elderly DCD donors (≥75 years) with younger DCD donors (<75 years) and elderly donors after brainstem death (DBD) to assess safety and efficacy.
- The results showed no significant differences in short-term outcomes or 12-month graft survival rates among the groups, indicating that using livers from very elderly DCD donors is safe and effective for transplantation.
