Differences in Mortality by Donor Sex and Age in a Multinational Cohort of Liver Transplant Recipients

Donor age modifies the association between donor sex and mortality. Among male recipients, young female donors were associated with higher mortality than young male donors, but female donors older than 45 y may offer superior long-term patient survival than same-aged male donors.
