Pediatric Liver Transplantation: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.

Key Points

This research aims to evaluate survival rates and management strategies in pediatric liver transplantation.
Conducted a retrospective analysis at a single center
Compared survival rates from deceased donor (DBD) and living donor (LDLT) transplants
Assessed postoperative management and implications for improvement
Survival rate at our center matched global standards
Survival rates from DBD donors were similar to LDLT
Identified the need for further research in postoperative management and immunosuppressive withdrawal (ISW)

Abstract

Pediatric LT has achieved tremendous progress in mainland China. The survival rate of our center was comparable to the published results worldwide. The survival rate of SLT from DBD donors was comparable to LDLT. Further research on the postoperative management and attempts of ISW will be required to improve survival.
