Key Words	Living donor liver transplantation; Model for end-stage liver disease score; Morbidity; Mortality; Infection
Core Tip	We assessed the impact of model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) score on patient survival and morbidity after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). A total of 71 patients were included and divided into two groups: Group 1 had 38 patients with a MELD score < 20 and Group 2 had 33 patients with a MELD score > 20. We compared between both groups regarding operative time, intra-operative blood requirement, duration of intensive care unit and hospital stay, in-fection, and patient survival. We found that a MELD score > 20 could predict mortality after LDLT.
