Analyzing predictors of graft survival in patients undergoing liver transplantation with donors aged 70 years and over

Figure 1 Flowchart of the selection of the cases included in the present study. HIV: Human immunodeficiency virus.

Figure 2 Rate of transplants performed in our department from 1996 to 2015 with donors ≥ 70 years old.

Figure 3 Graft survival according to donor age X recipient age X model for end-stage liver disease score in patients undergoing liver transplantation with grafts ≥ 70 years old. Chi-square = 12.358, degrees of freedom = 1, P = 0.00. DR-MELD: Donor age X recipient age X model for end-stage liver disease.

Figure 4 Graft survival in hepatitis C-negative patients according to donor age X recipient age X model for end-stage liver disease score after liver transplantation with grafts ≥ 70 years old. Chi-square = 4.222, degrees of freedom = 1, P = 0.00. DR-MELD: Donor age X recipient age X model for end-stage liver disease.

Figure 5 Graft survival in hepatitis C-positive patients according to donor age X recipient age X model for end-stage liver disease score after liver transplantation with grafts ≥ 70 years old. Chi-square = 12.615, degrees of freedom = 1, P = 0.00. DR-MELD: Donor age X recipient age X model for end-stage liver disease.
