Long-term survival after liver transplantation for alcohol-related liver disease in the Nordic countries.

Objectives: Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is among the most common indications for liver transplantation (LTX) in Europe and North America, with good five-year survival rates post-LTX. Here we evaluated survival up to and beyond 20 years after LTX for patients with ALD compared to a comparison group.

Methods: Patients with ALD and a comparison group transplanted in the Nordic countries between 1982 and 2020 were included.
