Octogenarian liver grafts: Is their use for transplant currently justified?

Figure 3 Comparison of patient and graft survival at 1, 3 and 5-yr in recipients who underwent liver transplantation for non-hepatitis C virus cirrhosis. An overall of 26 patients of this series were excluded in this analysis because of hepatitis C virus cirrhosis (10 patients in the group of octogenarian livers, and 16 in the group < 65 years old). Log-rank test for a difference in patient survival curves showed a P = 0.65 (A), whereas for a graft survival curves showed a P = 0.41 (B). LT: Liver transplantation.
