The impact of donor liver fibrosis on the outcomes of patients who undergo liver transplant: a cohort study from UNOS database

CONCLUSION: Donor liver fibrosis significantly impacts post-transplant outcomes, notably increasing the risk of all-cause mortality and graft failure. Specific causes of death, such as malignancy and cardiovascular disease, were more prevalent in recipients of fibrotic grafts, highlighting the need for further research to refine donor selection criteria.
