Core Tip	Many variables affect liver transplantation outcomes. Among these variables, cold ischemia time (CIT), defined as the time from the cold flushing of the donor organ until the graft is removed from ice to be implanted into the recipient, is the one of the most important and is incorporated into many predictive scoring systems. CIT is a multifactorial variable that depends on donor hepatectomy time, transit time and recipient surgery time and can only be calculated retrospectively.
