BackgroundFew studies have studied the effects of graft quality on non-urgent liver retransplantation (ReLT) outcomes. We aimed to analyze graft characteristics and survival in non-urgent ReLT and the effect of using grafts with extended criteria on survival.MethodsEighty non-urgent ReLT were performed from June 1988 to June 2010. The whole series was divided by identical time periods to study time-related effects. We assessed graft quality with donor risk index (DRI) and Briceño scores and…

The donor risk index (DRI) remains relevant but may benefit from being updated to provide guidance in the use of extended criteria donors by accounting for the impact of geography and unmeasured donor characteristics.

It is argued that children should not be considered for hand transplantation surgery due to the substantial risks of immunosuppressive medication, the likelihood that the graft will need to be replaced during the patient’s lifetime and the lack of significant compensatory advantages over modern prosthetics.

The utility of retransplantation in the elective situation is confirmed and should be used with discretion in the emergency setting, and it should be avoided in subgroups of patients with little chance of success.

Hematic retransplantation, although life-saving in almost 50% of patients with a failing liver allograft, is costly and uses scarce donor organs inefficiently and should assist in the rational application of retransplplantation.

The ReTxDRI was predictive of overall recipient survival and was a strongly independent predictor of death after retransplantation and can improve recipient and donor matching and help to optimize posttransplant survival in liver retrans transplantation.

A model to predict survival following liver retransplantation

A model that uses five readily accessible “bedside” variables to accurately predict survival in patients undergoing liver retransplantation is developed and validated and underscores the applicability of the model as an adjunct to clinical judgment.

Changing trends of retransplantation are examined and the determination of the variables that predict re-OLT outcomes are determined, illustrating a decline in complication rates and that infection remains the most important cause of death following re- OLT.

Re‐OLT should not be undertaken with extended and older donors particularly when retransplantation for recurrent disease is considered, and prognostic models that take into account the severity of disease and the effect of the organ to be transplanted should be developed to better predict outcomes after re‐ OLT.

Data suggest that the MELD score is able to accurately predict 3-month mortality among patients with chronic liver disease on the liver waiting list and can be applied for allocation of donor livers.
