Preoperative factors associated with outcome and their impact on resource use in 1148 consecutive primary liver transplants.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Kidney paired donation (KPD) has emerged as a viable option for renal transplant candidates with incompatible living donors. The aim of this study was to assess the "performance" of a three-site KPD program that allowed screening of multiple donors per recipient. METHODS:We reviewed retrospectively the acti...
