PMID: 37872066

Abstract

BACKGROUND: An emerging strategy to expand the donor pool is the use of a steatotic donor liver (SDLs; ≥ 30% macrosteatosis on biopsy). With the obesity epidemic and prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, SDLs have been reported in 59% of all deceased donors. Many potential candidates need to decide whether to accept an SDL offer or remain on the waitlist for a nonsteatotic donor liver (non-SDL). The objective of this study was to compare the survival of accepting an SDL vs using a non-SDL after waiting various times.
