| Core Tip |
Calculating the donor after cardiac death (DCD) Risk Index score using objective variables from the donor (cold ischemic time, warm ischemic time, donor hepatectomy time) and from the selected recipient (primary indication for transplant, model for end-stage liver disease, retransplantation) can help rationalize the risk of using a DCD liver in a given recipient in order to produce good results. |
