Core Tip With advances in surgical techniques and perioperative care, the outcomes of liver transplantation have improved significantly encouraging its use in more elderly patients and those with more comorbidities. In addition to severity of liver disease, understanding the impact of extra hepatic comorbidities on the outcomes will help ion prognostication and risk stratification with appropriate resource planning. Charlson comorbidity index has been validated as a good predictor of long-term survival in varied clinical populations. With limited studies regarding its use in liver transplant patients, we attempted to study its applicability in our cohort of living donor liver transplant patients.
