Expanding the living donor pool using domino liver transplantation: a systematic review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: To this day, a discrepancy exists between donor liver demand and supply. Domino liver transplantation (DLT) can contribute to increasing the number of donor livers available for transplantation. METHODS: The design of this systematic review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA). A qualitative analysis of included studies was performed. Primary outcomes were mortality and peri- and postoperative complications related to DLT. RESULTS: Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. All included studies showed that DLT outcomes were comparable to outcomes of deceased donor liver transplantation (DDLT) in terms of mortality and complications. One-year patient survival rate ranged from 66.7% to 100%. Re-transplantation rate varied from 0 to 12.5%. Most frequent complications were related to biliary (3.7%-37.5%), hepatic artery (1.6%-9.1%), portal vein (12.5-33.3%) and hepatic vein events (1.6%), recurrence of domino donor disease (3.3%-17.4%) and graft rejection (16.7%-37.7%). The quality of the evidence was rated as moderate according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS). CONCLUSION: DLT outcomes were similar to DDLT in terms of mortality and complications. Even though DLT will not solve the entire problem of organ shortage, transplant programs should always consider using this tool to maximize the availability of liver grafts.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
