Abstract: OBJECTIVE:To analyze the impact of model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) allocation policy on survival outcomes after liver transplantation (LT).INTRODUCTION:Considering that an ideal system of grafts allocation should also ensure improved survival after transplantation, changes in allocation policies need to be evaluated in different contexts as an evolutionary process.METHODS:A retrospective cohort study was carried out among patients who underwent LT at the University of Pernambuco. Two groups of patient… Show more

“…We also point that analysis of additional donor-related variables may provide additional information, especially because a large proportion of extended-criteria donors were used at our Department 21,34,42,43 . However, despite our relative small sample size, the main scientific merit of this report was to add some evidence to determine if the surgical approach influence survival outcomes of HCC patients after LT. Our data suggests further studies are necessary to determine whether piggyback hepatovenous anastomosis should be preferred for patients candidate to LT because HCC.…”

“…Morbidity was assessed using the early mechanical complications observed in the first 24 hours after puncture such as hematoma, arterial punctures, catheter non progression or malposition, and hemothorax or pneumothorax. To study the learning curve, we divided the procedures successively performed into quartile periods, which is similar to a method we had previously applied in previous studies [8,9].…”
