What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the long-term outcomes of liver transplants using donor livers preserved through prolonged dual hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (DHOPE). The study focuses on real-world data to assess the effectiveness of DHOPE in reducing complications associated with liver transplantation, such as ischemia-reperfusion injury and early allograft dysfunction. By analyzing outcomes from adult patients who received liver transplants after DHOPE preservation for more than four hours, the study seeks to fill the gap in existing evidence regarding the long-term benefits of this preservation method.
