| Core Tip |
Because of organ shortage and the need to optimize graft survival, patient candidates for liver transplantation must undergo an intensive multidisciplinary work-up to determine their suitability for registration on the waitlist. Few studies have evaluated the ineligibility rate for liver transplantation and its motivations. In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, the observed non-listing rate was 53.8% and about one out of three non-listing reasons was an inappropriate or premature referral. The external referral was a predictor of non-listing, so the betterment of the education and the training of referring physicians is recommended. |
