Risk scores for allograft failure: Are they still useful in liver recipients from donation after circulatory death?

Table 3 Correlation of overall and graft survival according to model for early allograft function score, subdivided by high-risk subgroups

Survival	Donors aged ≥ 70 years			Cold ischemia time ≥ 6 h			Functional warm ischemia time ≥ 12 min
	MEAF < 7, n = 10	MEAF ≥ 7, n = 2	P value	MEAF < 7, n = 8	MEAF ≥ 7, n = 5	P value	MEAF < 7, n = 38	MEAF ≥ 7, n = 8	P value
Graft survival in days	420 (410-430)	315 (219-563)	0.6271	751 (57-1642)	357 (2-1280)	0.4612	420 (2-1091)	409 (153-1279)	0.6662
Overall survival in months	13 (2-18)	10 (6.5-18)	0.7271	24 (1.5-53)	15.5 (5.7-41.7)	0.8082	13 (4-35)	13 (4.5-41)	0.4322
