Risk factors for in-hospital mortality of patients with high model for end-stage liver disease scores following living donor liver transplantation

Annals of Hepatology, 2012
Background. Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) for patients with high model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores is controversial due to its poor outcome. However, there is little information regarding which factor would negatively impact the
