| Core Tip |
Obesity has become a prevalent condition in many part of the world. Yet, evaluation of its impact on patients requiring liver transplantation is limited. Analysis of united network of organ sharing data of 48281 patients undergoing first time cadaveric liver transplantation has shown that, 5-year survival rates for selected underweight and morbidly obese patients were clinically comparable to normal weight recipients as 5-year survival for class Ⅲ obese recipients was 71.5% vs 73.9% for normal weight patients. Impact analysis showed that exclusion of morbidly obese and underweight recipients would not significantly improve the overall survival of the entire cohort of patients un-dergoing liver transplant.
