| Core Tip |
We compare characteristics of 20-year sur-vivors and non-survivors after liver transplantation. The lab model for end-stage liver disease-score seems not to be an adequate tool for predicting long-term (20 years) outcome. The Eurotransplant Donor Risk Index (ET-DRI) has a significant impact on long-term survival. While close to 60% of patients that received a donor organ with an ET-DRI < 1.2 survived for 20 years and longer, only less than 40% of the patients with an ET-DRI > 1.4 survived the same number of years. Only about 20% survivors had overweight before transplanta-tion, compared to about 33% non-survivors. The mean esti-mated glomerular filtration rate was higher among survivors.
