Short recipient warm ischemia time improves outcomes in deceased donor liver transplantation

While adverse effects of prolonged recipient warm ischemia time (rWIT) in liver transplantation (LT) have been well investigated, few studies have focused on possible positive prognostic effects of short rWIT. We aim to investigate if shortening rWIT can further improve outcomes in donation after brain death liver transplant (DBD-LT). Primary DBD-LT between 2000 and 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided according to rWIT...
