Core Tip	The prevalence and impact of comorbidity on waiting list (WL) and post-transplant survival is unknown in patients who had liver retransplantation. This study identified comorbidity(ies) were common (56%) in this cohort, most with renal impairment. WL mortality was higher in patients with ≥ 1 comorbidity and model for end stage liver disease (MELD) score ≥ 18. Post-transplant survival was inferior in patients with ≥ 1 comorbidity, MELD score ≥ 18 and in patients who required organ support prior to retransplantation. Comorbidity increases WL and post-transplant mortality. Patients with comorbidity or MELD ≥ 18 may benefit from earlier retransplantation.
