Heavy Alcohol Use Among Deceased Donors Does Not Impact Recipient Outcomes After Liver Transplantation

Background Data on liver transplant (LT) outcomes using deceased donors with heavy drinking (HD) (>2 drinks/day) are scanty. Methods Using the United Network for Organ Sharing database (2002-2014), we examined outcomes after LT in adults comparing deceased HD donors with not heavy drinking (ND) donors. Results Of 56 182 first LTs performed in the US for 10 common indications using deceased donors, 47 882 with available information on alcohol use were analyzed. Of these 47 882 LT recipients, 7 298 (15%) were from HD donors, with similar proportion over time (2002-2014, Armitage trend test P=0.75) and for recipient liver disease etiology (Chi square P=0.42). Proportion of liver organ used for LT was lower for HD donors compared to ND donors (63 vs. 78%, P
