Core Tip	As a result of the ageing population, the average age of liver transplant candidates has increased over the years and about one quarter of recipients receiving transplantation in the United States are over 65 years of age. The study reported that patients aged 65 years or older had lower survival at one year compared to a younger cohort. In addition, they have identified congestive heart failure to be strongly associated with poor outcomes in elderly. In this letter to the editor, we express our opinion about these interesting findings.
