Liver Discard Rate Attributable to Conservative Estimations of Steatosis: An Inference-based Approach
The study concludes that there was a significant (10.3%-16.9%) disparity caused by on-site nonbiopsy assessments of HS, leading to the unnecessary discard of potential donor livers. The findings emphasize the need to develop more accurate intraoperative techniques for assessing HS to optimize donor liver procurement.
