Twenty-year longitudinal follow-up after liver transplantation: a single-center experience with 251 consecutive patients

. 2022 Mar 31;36(1):45–53. doi: 10.4285/kjt.21.0031

HIGHLIGHTS
A study cohort of 251 liver transplantation (LT) recipients were followed up for 20 years. The actual 20-year patient survival rate was 62.6% in 207 adult living donor LT recipients, 68.2% in 22 adult deceased donor LT recipients, and 77.3% in 22 pediatric LT recipients. These survival outcomes reflected the early experiences of LT in our institution, with long-term outcomes being similar regardless of graft type and patient age.
