Figure 5 Linear regression models were used for explaining differences in terms of age between deceased and living liver donors over the last decade at the Mediterranean Institute for Transplantation and Advanced Specialized Therapies, and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in Italy. In our series of 677 cadaveric liver transplantation and 105 living donor liver transplantation, the deceased donor age has been increasing with a significative difference of average values between deceased and living liver donor age (95%CI: 0.9-1.3), P < 0.0001.
