Updated status of deceased-donor liver graft allocation for high-urgency adult patients in a Korean high-volume liver transplantation center.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:The number of deceased organ donors in Korea has been gradually increased to reach 8 per million population. This study intended to analyze the updated status of urgent deceased-donor liver transplantation in a Korean high-volume liver transplantation center. METHODS:A retrospective study was performed with a 4-year study period from 2010 to 2013. RESULTS:During the study period, 328 adult patients were enrolled at the Asan Medical Center for urgent orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) with Korean Network for Organ Sharing status 1 in 56 (17.1%) and status 2A in 272 (82.9%). Of them, 201 (61.3%) were allocated for OLT and 195 (58.2%) actually underwent OLT after exclusion of 6 cases of spontaneous withdrawal. In KONOS status 1, liver grafts were initially allocated to 33 (58.9%), but 6 were withdrawn owing to clinical improvement, so 27 (48.2%) actually underwent OLT. In status 2A, 168 (61.8%) underwent OLT within 2 weeks of priority waiting period. According to ABO blood groups in recipients, the allocation probability was 68% (68 of 100) in group A, 60.6% (60 of 99) in group B, 64.1% (25 of 39) in group AB, and 53.3% (48 of 90) in group O. Mean waiting period for OLT was 5.7 ± 2.1 days. CONCLUSIONS:Deceased donor incidence of ∼8 per million population contributed to meeting ∼60% of the demand for urgent deceased-donor liver transplantation in a Korean transplantation center, so further increasing deceased organ donor numbers is necessary to improve the current status of organ shortage.

    abstract::Overall, the results seen in this study are encouraging. In this high-risk group of patients where the expected disease rate would normally be at least 55% to 60% without prophylaxis, a combination protocol of GCV, ACV, and CMVIG limited the rate of disease to 19%. When disease occurred, it was generally mild and easi...
