Description
Dongwei Wu and co-authors ask in 2026 whether donor age affects early results when a split liver is given to a child. Splitting one liver for more than one patient widens access, but the safe age range for donors was unclear.
Records of one hundred forty four child recipients from 2015 to 2025 were split into three donor age groups, from young children to donors in their early sixties. Survival at one year for both patient and graft was high in all groups and did not differ by a clear margin. The way the liver was split also made no clear difference. The authors say well chosen young and older donors can serve in skilled centers.
