Extended criteria brain-dead organ donors: Prevalence and impact on the utilisation of livers for transplantation in Brazil

Table 5 Analysis of the relationship between the occurrence of donor extended criteria and the refusal rate of liver allografts for transplantation

Multiple logistic regression model for donor organ refusal for transplantation (n = 1619)
Variable	Estimated proportionof refusal (95%CI)	Odds ratio for refusal (95%CI)	P value
Absence of macroscopic steatosis in the donor organ	41.10% (12.04%; 78.06%)	0.064 (0.013; 0.307)	< 0.001
Donor age > 65 yr	79.54% (59.84%; 91.02%)	1.973 (1.360; 2.861)	< 0.001
