Alnagar A, Daradka K, Kyrana E, et al. - Via analyzing their long term experience in pediatric liver transplant (PLT) activity, researchers herein described the pre transplant factors that can aid in predicting post transplant patient and graft survival.

• From 2000 to 2019, 276 patients received 320 PLTs.

• Hepatic artery thrombosis was the most common cause of graft loss (n = 13, 29.6%).

• Sepsis was the most common cause of mortality (n = 11, 29.7%).

• There appeared a significant impact of the learning curve and pre transplant invasive ventilation on patient survival.

• Researchers identified no independent factor predicting graft survival.
