Navigating the risk of living donor liver transplantation from older donors: analysis of 4035 cases from a multicenter cohort
LDLT using grafts from old donors (≥50 years) showed poorer graft survival, especially when two or more of the following were present: CIT ≥ 150 min, MELD ≥ 20, or recipient BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 . These risk factors should be carefully considered when selecting older living donors.
