Survival Determinants in Pediatric Liver Transplant From a Single Center Performing Primarily Living Donor Transplants.

This study highlights 3 modifiable or monitorable factors, that is, low transplant weight, high graft -to -recipient weight ratio, and early postoperative thrombocytopenia, as key predictors of reduced survival in pediatric liver transplant recipients.

These findings emphasize the need for careful donor -recipient matching and early postoperative monitoring, particularly in centers that rely primarily on living donor transplants.
