Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:The demand for older patients not to be denied access to liver transplantation (LT) has intensified as the European population continues to live longer and maintains better health. AIM:This study aims to ascertain the impact of recipient age on the post-LT survival in 2 well-balanced populations at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital. METHODS:From January 1990 to December 2016, LT recipients (young group: 50-65 years of age; elderly group: >65 years of age) were compared by means of a propensity score matching (PSM) method. RESULTS:Prior to PSM, graft survival and patient survival were worse for the elderly group (P < .001). In 1126 LT recipients, a caliper width of 0.01 was used based on the donor (age, sex, cause of donor death, and donor intensive care unit stay) and recipient covariates (sex, body mass index, indication for LT, intraoperative blood transfusion, cardiovascular risk factors, and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease [MELD]-Era). After PSM, 206 patients were matched; 1-, 5-, and 10-year patient survival rates were 77%, 63%, and 52% vs 80%, 64%, and 45% (P = .50) for young vs elderly recipients, respectively. Similar graft survival rates were observed in both groups (P = .42). CONCLUSIONS:Advanced age alone should not exclude patients from LT.
