Key Words Orthotopic liver transplantation; Old allograft age; Elderly recipient; Survival; Recipient age; Functional status
Core Tip The aging general population has led to changes in liver transplant (LT) recipient and donor demographics. In addition to older recipient age, older allografts are increasingly utilized to keep up with the demand for LT. In this study, we found that older donor:recipient age pairs were associated with a lower likelihood of improving functional status and distinct patterns of cause-specific mortality. Notably, graft- and infection-related mortality were strongly dependent on allograft age, whereas cardioneurovascular- and malignancy-related mortality were more linked with recipient age. These findings highlight the importance of age dynamics in LT and may inform age-matched organ allocation strategies.
