Agonal period in DCD procurement was defined as the period between withdrawal of treatment to circulatory arrest. Primary WIT in DCD procurement designs time from circulatory arrest to in situ organs perfusion.

The livers are grouped according the lactate metabolism (viability criteria) rather than the chronological order of the perfusion.

Designates livers that were transplanted.
